This post is from the WWDC26 iCloud & CloudKit Q&A.

My queries are failing in an unusual way. I can query 4 out of 5 Record Types. The 5th fails from the app (CKQueryOperation) and, surprisingly, also from the CloudKit Dashboard. It returns only 100-300 records when it should return over 4000. Tapping "Query Records" returns an additional 100-300 records. Apple Developer Technical Support has suggested that the issue involves the index of the container and wrote that only the CloudKit Team can fix it. So my question is - How do I get the CloudKit Team to fix it????

Thanks for the details in the Feedback report. We will take a detailed look at what might be happening with the Notices record type and respond through the Feedback report. At this time, it's not clear what the underlying issue could be.

In that case, only the CloudKit team can fix the issue by re-indexing your container. I hope I can help, but DTS doesn’t have the access to the tool. Sorry for that.
