CloudKit returns error 500

Starting about a month ago some of my app users began getting the http 500 error when the app attempts to do anything (read or write) to their iCloud Drive.

For AppleIDs that are affected, all apps that use iCloud Drive return the same error.

"Request failed with http status code 500"

Apple had the same problem last year around the same time (Dec 2021). It was never acknowledged

This is a similar issue that happened about a year ago: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/01/26/apple-fixed-icloud-syncing-bug/

Can someone please looking this. I have also filed a bug report with Apple: FB11852660

Since Apple never acknowledges these outages, users blame our app

BTW, throughout all this time the Apple Server Status website showed no problem related to iCloud. The website also did not indicate any problem when this problem happened last year (and lasted for months) for people who were affected
