DataStoreRequestType

Categorizes data store operations for use with DataStoreService:GetRequestBudgetForRequestType(), which returns the remaining per-server request budget for a given category.

The enum contains two sets of values. The legacy values (GetAsync, SetIncrementAsync, UpdateAsync, GetSortedAsync, SetIncrementSortedAsync, OnUpdate, ListAsync, GetVersionAsync, and RemoveVersionAsync) should not be used. The modern values (StandardRead, StandardWrite, StandardList, StandardRemove, OrderedRead, OrderedWrite, OrderedList, and OrderedRemove) correspond to the newer DataStore and OrderedDataStore API families that use universe-level and per-server limits.
