If the CB Resident Preference for a particular listing is 50%....does that mean 50% of the total number of available units OR.... 50% of the units from each size category (studios, 1 bd, 2bd, 3bd)?

Or is it something else entirely?
I have seen no exact explanation. Total number of units is what I concluded. I am drawn to the conclusion that it is luck of the draw across the entire building without regard to AMI% or size category.
Whatever the lowest log#s are for CB preference, they get to accept or reject a unit, in ranked order. This continues until the 50% allotment is fulfilled. As such, different outcomes are possible for who gets the CB allotment.
We can imagine that circumstances can influence the outcome. For example, if studios and 1 bd are very small they might get repeat rejections from low CB log#s perhaps leading very many 2 bed units being taken by CB log#s. Likewise, at higher rents for higher AMI% it might not seem such an excellent bargain leading to more rejected units then at lower rent at lower AMI%.
Unfortunately, it’s not revealed what the lower log#s with CB are seeking. We don’t even see what the lowest log# with CB is; it could be that log# 1000 is the lowest with CB or it might be log#8 is lowest with CB. So its hard to know where your own log# with CB ranks; it could be first inline or 100th inline.
There does not seem to be a feature that allocates a min or max set aside for any or all unit sizes or AMI%. The results might be that all 2bd units go to CB or none or some only, for example. Likewise for for AMI%. I can point to anything that says this is certainly how it works, it is just my opinion.
It's 50% of the total number of available. I have been through the process with CB pref. I had a high log number for CB. I had asked how the units are separated and at least for the building I applied for it was 50% off all units in the building.
I have also seen in some threads here how CB pref people have filled all of an AMI leaving only the 130AMI avail for gen pop. I'm assuming that building had fewer units avail in the lower AMI and thats why they were so quickly taken by CB. It seems like that one was also going by 50% of all units available

May I know what log number were you? How long it took them to contact you after the lottery ended?

This has already been explained. A number of each AMI and unit type is reserved for CB. The sum of these adds up to approximately 50% of total available units. It's not 50% of each category nor it is exactly 50%.
