If you aren’t sure which event to use, it’s better to stay safe and go with Heartbeat since there’s no risk of blocking Roblox processes. Heartbeat:Wait () can also be used as a faster replacement for wait (), since it returns every frame while wait has a minimum of a thirtieth of a second (about two frames). How does FPS and ping works?
Heartbeat runs at the end of the frame. You should use it for anything that needs to run once a frame, but is a slow enough operation that you don’t want it blocking anything. It’s generally used as a go-to preferable replacement for anything that was using a while wait () do loop.
The Heartbeat event fires every frame, after the physics simulation has completed. The step argument indicates the time that has elapsed since the previous frame. As Heartbeat fires every frame, it runs on a variable frequency.
This means the rate will vary depending on the performance of the machine. If the game is running at 40 FPS, then Heartbeat will fire 40 times per second and the step argument will be roughly 1/40th of a second. The step argument can be used to account for the variable frequency of this event, for example:
wait(1) do ” instead as RunService. Heartbeat fires every frame (1/60th of a second). Here's a comparison. You can use tick() or any similar function to know if a second has passed inside a Heartbeat event, but I don't really get why you can't just use a while loop for this.

No it isn't, heartbeat uses client fps if it's being used on the client. This is incorrect, heartbeat has its uses for different applications. As it says in the screenshot, heartbeat runs after rendering, meaning that it should be used if you want to run something every frame which doesn't involve rendering.
As VitalWinter mentioned, the only way would be to call :Disconnect() on the RBXConnection of the Heartbeat. Learn more about ROBLOX connections here.
Yields the current thread until the given duration (in seconds) has elapsed and then resumes the thread on the next Heartbeat step. Since the actual yield time may vary, this method returns it for convenience.
Getting DeltaTime All of the RunService events provide a method to get DeltaTime. Functions passed to RunService:BindToRenderStep will be called with DeltaTime. wait returns DeltaTime, ElapsedTime. spawn and delay call their functions with DeltaTime, ElapsedTime.
Description: The RenderStepped event fires every frame, prior to the frame being rendered. The step argument indicates the time that has elapsed since the previous frame.
✔️ The Roblox website is now up & available, with a few minor disruptions.
Most likely it will, because it is being fired every frame and a Vector3 is sent over, which would probably take a lot of kilobytes, and would be likely to surpass the 50KB/s limit where bandwidth occurs.
You can terminate RbxSignal objects by using its :Disconnect() event. If you are to disconnect in the middle of a connected function (anonymous function), you will have to do what I did in the example and define the variable first.
The Heartbeat Sensor is an equipment item unlocked at Prestige 0, Level 40. While held, the heartbeat sensor will regularly ping the locations of enemies in the area within a 250 studs of the user.
RunService. Description: This function returns whether the current environment is running in Roblox Studio. This function will only return true when using Roblox Studio and can be used to add code to test your game within Studio.
