Resolution
How much bandwidth Parallels Secure Workspace uses and how large the file size of application session recordings is, determines a lot on the use case.
For instance, the bandwidth or file size of a recording will be rather small for a user who uses a typical office application (Microsoft Excel, Word, ...); while it would be on the high end for a user who does a lot of graphical work.
On average we would assume that the screen recording size would be between 40 to 100 MB per hour for a normal workload.
Another important factor is the screen resolution (and number of screens).
Therefore, the below metrics are just an indication.
