It appears to me that QoS applies only to local addresses. I might be 
able to set it to reduce the data rates on iCloud but it would still 
allow activity when nothing else is running but the Mac desktop.

I simply want to stop all iCloud activity [except for a "free" period in 
the wee hours of the morning].

Presently I have been letting it run from 23:59 to 04:00. It ran up 13GB 
on each of two nights and almost 7GB last night. I guess it is satisfied 
after downloading all that data and quit at 6675MB down and 681MB up [up 
is much slower]. However left unattended it will suck up several GB in 
the upload direction, it just takes longer. Both directions count 
against my allocation.
