            Bug ID: 199614
           Summary: IndexedDB quota is Only 500 MB - No Way to Ask User
                    for More
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: iPhone / iPad
                OS: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: Service Workers

It seems in iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 Beta (I am using latest Beta 3) IndexedDB storage is now capped at 500 MB. 
They were previously uncapped.

Exact Error is:
QuotaExceededError: Unable to store record in object store because no enough pace for domain.

I confirmed this with "browser storage abuser" test here:
https://demo.agektmr.com/storage/

There is no way to ask user to approve more storage.
Users are stuck limited to just 1 or 2% of the storage they paid for on a premium device.

This may have been caused by:

This is seriously crippling and detrimental to all PWAs/Web Apps out there.
My App is used in mission critical flying and needs gigabytes of storage to store offline map tiles.
In general PWAs are now replacing Native applications so we need unlimited storage - not 500 MB total.

Please fix this ASAP. Either implement StorageManager API or at least allow Web Apps to use at least 5% of available storage as a sensible starting point.
