tmux detach while running script

So I have a script that I would like to run on my server and not have it bother me. So I thought I would run the server in a tmux window and then detach it so I could simply attach if I ever want to look at the progress (this script will take days to run).

but when I run my script in the tmux window, I am not able to detatch while it is running. Is there something I am doing wrong? How can I detach while this still runs? I feel like I am being very oblivious to an obvious solution here.

You can detach from a tmux session while leaving the script running by:

CTRL + b, then pressing d

You can enter back into the session by running tmux attach -t <session id>
