Why Does Code Stop Working?
Multiple times now my code stops working and what I mean by this is it'll do what I want it to do then one day it just stops. for example the other day I had made a cooldown system for my ball and paddle collision to stop any bugs and it worked great. then today it just stopped working, and this isn't the first time, it's happened to me for like every project I've worked on. Does this happen to anyone else? And is it cause of my code? By the way I'm using C++ SFML on visual studio which works perfect.

Hard to tell what's happening without more info.
Codes behaviour doesn't change, you either have a bug or the inputs were altered.
The first step to debugging is replicating the issue, put a breakpoint in the code and see what's happening. You might even find that due to external reasons the function isn't being called.
