I ended up hacking together some code to aggregate local records into files and then upload them as a CKAsset. It reduces the actual CKRecord count drastically and in turn, the storage usage. While this works, it’s not ideal for all my data types. And doesn’t completely eliminate the storage increase issue. If you have any updates to why this is happening please let me know. Again, I am happy to provide the sample project that I mentioned in my direct replies, If needed let me know where to send it.

Thanks for the heads up about the horizontal accuracy, after some more testing that was definitely the issue. Strangely the iPads we are testing on seem to have terrible accuracy in the beta. I'll submit feedback, but it could just be coincidental.
