Thanks! Yes, it worked now, I tried it before when databases were still syncing due to problem from the topic below. I wasn’t able to do that, but after other databases synced it worked!

> Hi – Per the title. I’m seeing Request failed with http status code 503 and CKErrorDomain 6 On my iPad and Mac as it’s attempting to sync. On iPad it’s a notification. On my Mac I see this in the log. Once I see this error, it looks like syncing stops there, and when it tries to start again immediately stops.
