Roblox DataStore writes are being throttled

Issue
Save requests queue, warn about throttling, or fail during busy servers.

Cause
The game writes too frequently, writes every field separately, or allows many players to save on the same frame.

Fix
Keep one in-memory profile per player, mark it dirty when data changes, and save on a staggered interval. Use UpdateAsync where concurrent writes may conflict. Save major purchases promptly but avoid writing every currency tick. Retry transient failures with bounded backoff.

Verify
Watch request budgets and DataStore observability while load-testing player joins, autosaves, and shutdown.
