iCloud Restore at 6 days, I've done everything, 50gb of 200gb restore, i need this for work! HELP!

Day 6 restoring my 4th gen 12.9 ipad pro. I use procreate for work, after the latest update i was plagued by crashes, so i wiped and restored.

ive rewiped, restarted the ipad to get rid of hangups, stopped pictures from syncing, plugged it into my router, restarted my router, tried different wifi's, getting 800mbps download speeds, and done every suggestion ive been able to.

my icloud backup is 200GB, i have 2TB iclooud plan, only 50gb have been restored and the last app is procreate, which i need for work. its only backing up a gig a day now. how is this a service that is worth my money? if the bottleneck is apple, why is this a thing?

i'm at wits end, is there ANYTHING i can do?!?

iPad Pro (4th generation)

Be aware that your internet connection may have significantly different upload and download speeds.

Many ISP broadband connections are asymmetric. Upload speeds may only be a small fraction of "headline" download speed.

Similarly, while your local WiFi network may indicate very high connect speed, this may be significantly greater than your internet connection. For WiFi, you must also consider that this a shared/contended connection, shared by all devices that are simultaneously connecting to your network.

sure, but in 2025, 200gb gets tossed around like nothing. my xbox (on wifi btw) updates call of duty every other day at 50-100gb increments in 10 minutes. so its not my internet.
