While I understand that the amount of storage available to private CloudKit databases is whatever the user pays for, I am confused as to whether the data transfer and requests per second limits that affect public databases are also in place for private databases.

We are in the process of adding CloudKit support to one of our apps where the average size of the local data store is around 300 MB and can easily cross into the multi-gigabyte range. If a similar data transfer limit with an average 50 MB per user per month is in effect, then we could easily run into to trouble with CloudKit. Does anyone know if there is a data transfer limit for private databases with CloudKit? If so, is it the same as the public database limitation or is it something else?

Regards

@pistoleta – It's been a while since I asked this question. Over that time, I've been developing the app using CloudKit. It's in beta now, due for release in March, and we haven't run into any limit issues with using private CloudKit storage, so long as the user has enough storage in their account and the application properly handles service unavailable and rate limit messages. Hope this helps.

We have the same doubt and that link seems broken.
Please help on this. All the information about this subject is either very old or its quite confusing.
We just want to know the limits/costs of the private database.
