Free data transfer in CloudKit

CloudKit's website says 2GB of data transfer are free. It does not say over what period of time. Is it per day, per month, or an absolute value?

Sounds like it's monthly.


"Applicable fees are calculated monthly in USD" - bottom of page

No. It is per day! They said it in the State of the Union presentation.

was state of the union speech about cloudkit?

Accepted Answer

The What's New in CloudKit session discusses this and says the assets transfer rate (which starts at 2GB) is per month. Note that this scales with your user count, so as you add users, the threshold goes up (by 50MB / user).

Can you guys help me figure this out?


Just implemented CloudKit for the first time and queries of less than 5 objects is taking sometimes in excess of 60 seconds.


Am I doing something wrong or is CloudKit not meant to be depeneded upon in realtime?

in the wwdc 2015 704 session it is said that the asset data transfer changes as your application is used by more users.

So each user is 50Mb/month

i'm trying to develop a social app, and i have tried to test this app with some iclouds accounts, so not only one user but some users.

I find out that the daily quota doesn't change at all (i have waited more than 24 hours to see if changes were made adding some users)

I supposed to find out that starting from the 64.5Mb on a daily base, with no users, i would obtain 64.5Mb+((50/30)*usernum) but this doesn't happen

Why?
