Update multiple ordered datastores at once

So, I have 4 ordered datastores that store leaderboard values for players, but I’m worried that if I do SetAsync on all of them at once (when the player leaves) it’ll throttle if there are many players in the server.

Right now I’m using exponential backoff and task.wait() in between SetAsyncs, but I don’t know if this is the right way of doing things.


function exponentialRetry(maxRetries: number, f: (...any) -> any, ...: any)
	local retryDelay = 1

	for i = 1, maxRetries do
		local success, result = pcall(f, ...)

		if (success) then return result end

		if i < maxRetries then
			task.wait(retryDelay)

			retryDelay *= 2
		end
	end
end

-- when player leaves:
exponentialRetry(10,function()
	DS1:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId),data1)
end)
	
task.wait(1)
	
exponentialRetry(10,function()
	DS2:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId),data2)
end)

task.wait(1)

exponentialRetry(10,function()
	DS3:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId),data3)
end)
	
task.wait(1)
	
exponentialRetry(10,function()
	DS4:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId),data4)
end)

Is there a better way of doing this to prevent throttling? Any help would be appreciated.

Can’t you put all the data in a table and do SetAsync once?

I’m using OrderedDataStores, and they only allow one integer per key, so I can’t put it in a table.
