Key/Value limit

I know there is a limit for how many key's could a user have in the player data, also I guess it is limited to 10, but is there a limit to the value of the key ? so for example if I want to set a key's value a string of length of 300 characters will that be allowed ?
The reason I want this is because I want to store all player's provided info in a key, the info includes his bio, age, school/university, family members, and much more.. so I want to use only 1 key to store all this data, is that available ?

Yes, the value length for user data is the limit called out as "Player data value size" on the limits tab. And we would definitely recommend collapsing data down to fewer, larger keys wherever possible. One thing to be aware of though, is that some of what you're collecting may be considered personally identifying information, so you'll want to make sure to provide the user with a way to remove all that. Deleting the account will, of course, but that's the nuclear option, so to speak.

Absolutely! The default limit is currently 10,000 bytes, so you could store over 30 times that amount of data in a single value. And if you need it to be higher, you can always upgrade the limit or sign up for a higher service tier (which includes increases to most limits).

Also is the limit for each key's value or is it the sum of all the player's value data size ?

It's per key/value pair.
