Why does my script stop saving the variable after several dozen commands?

Hello,
Recently I made a quick saving leaderstats script which works fine.
Problems arose when I wanted to add a certain number of points to a player (adding points script)
When the player repeats this command several times, this message is displayed on the output:

DataStore request was added to queue. If request queue fills, further requests will be dropped. Try sending fewer requests.Key = 451472157

When the command repeats approximately 24 times, the writer stops working.

Saving leaderstats script 
local dsService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ds = dsService:GetDataStore("MoneyStats")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
 local folder = Instance.new("Folder", plr)
 folder.Name = "Leaderstats"
 local currency = Instance.new("IntValue", folder)
 currency.Name = "Money"
 currency.Value = ds:GetAsync(plr.UserId) or 0
 currency.Changed:Connect(function()
  ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, currency.Value)
 end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
 ds:SetAsync(plr.UserId, plr.Leaderstats.Money.Value) 
end)
Adding points script 
plr.Leaderstats.Money.Value = plr.Leaderstats.Money.Value+1

I tried to change some script elements, e.g. change it to local script or add RemoteEvent, but it didn’t make sense.

What should I do?

You’re sending too many requests out, try saving their stats and updating the leaderboard with local scripts instead and then send a request to update the data store when they leave the experience.

You can see the limit of requests here, as well as errors

#4

You are saving the stats on changed event. Remove that line and only save on PlayerRemoving and BindToClose.

1.What BindToClose means?
2.I deleted " currency.Changed:Connect(function()" and it stopped working completly
