Why is my countdown timer really slow?

[oomer1 (Pufferfish)]

I am making a Christmas update for my game that every 10 minutes it triggers a present rain event. But when I try testing the countdown script, everything works but each second feels like 3 seconds or even more.

I have no idea why this is happening since I was able to make a server-sided countdown script in the past without this ever happening.

I have been trying to fix this for a while now and I’ve made no progress at all. Even if I set the increment to 0.01 it still feels too long.

Script (Server):

local eventfolder = workspace:WaitForChild("ChristmasEvent")
local music = workspace:WaitForChild("ServerSounds").Music.ChristmasEvent

local defaultminutes = 0
local defaultseconds = 10

local defaultminutes2 = 1
local defaultseconds2 = 5

local secondincrement = 0

local minutes = eventfolder.Minutes
local seconds = eventfolder.Seconds
local eventbool = eventfolder.Event

seconds.Value = defaultseconds
minutes.Value = defaultminutes

eventbool.Changed:Connect(function()
	if eventbool.Value == true then
		music.Playing = true
	else
		music:Stop()
	end
end)

while true do
	eventbool.Value = false
	seconds.Value = defaultseconds
	minutes.Value = defaultminutes
	seconds.Value -= 1
	repeat
		wait(secondincrement)
		print("tick")
		print(seconds.Value)
		print(minutes.Value)
		seconds.Value -= 1
		if seconds.Value < 0 then
			seconds.Value = 59
			minutes.Value -=1
		end
	until minutes.Value <= 0 and seconds.Value <= 0
	seconds.Value = defaultseconds2
	minutes.Value = defaultminutes2
	eventbool.Value = true
	repeat
		wait(secondincrement)
		print("tick")
		print(seconds.Value)
		print(minutes.Value)
		seconds.Value -= 1
		if seconds.Value < 0 then
			seconds.Value = 59
			minutes.Value -=1
		end
	until minutes.Value <= 0 and seconds.Value <= 0
end

Use task.wait() instead of wait(). They work differently.
