A request is sent to the DataStore server (where the data is actually ... stored) when you interact with your data store. Getting a value costs a request. Setting a value costs a request. Updating a value costs a request.

Think of it like a web browser. When you browse to a website, you're actually sending a request for the file at that location (so, you request the 'home' file within roblox.com when you navigate to Home).

So doing manipulation to Datastores is considered a request? Getting values | Setting Values | Detecting Change are all considered request?

The request limit is per server though, right? Every server can do 400 request a minute?

@FireFox,

Also, aren't you making a SQL-like plug-in for easy data store manipulation?
