WeatherKit available to iOS users in China?
Does WeatherKit work for users in China? Some of our APIs to fetch weather data from other sources have been blocked in China, we are hoping WeatherKit will work as a replacement for them (we are using the Swift APIs to integrate with WeatherKit). Hopefully calling WeatherKit using the Swift APIs inside China from an iOS device will return data successfully and not fail. Thanks.

WeatherKit REST API production rate limiting
The documentation lists the number of calls per month you can make for the different pricing tiers here: https://developer.apple.com/weatherkit/get-started/ but are there going to be any per second/minute/hour rate limits on calls to the API like with other weather service APIs. For example maybe you get 1,000,000 calls per month but there is some limit like 5 calls per second or 10,000 calls per hour imposed by the APIs? Also what happens if you go over your allowed call limit for the month, will the API just return an error like HTTP 402 or you will get a warning for a period of time? Would you be able to buy extra calls for the month without having to upgrade to a new tier, assuming maybe you are experiencing a temporary increase in traffic.

WeatherKit geographical availability
Hi - I don't see anything in the documentation about which regions of the world the API will support e.g. US, Europe. I see there is an /api/v1/availability you can call but is there some rough guidelines around what areas are supported and which aren't. Thanks Mark.
