In this work we study two families of codes with availability, namely private information retrieval (PIR) codes and batch codes. While the former requires that every information symbol has $k$ mutually disjoint recovering sets, the latter asks this property for every multiset request of $k$ information symbols. The main problem under this paradigm is to minimize the number of redundancy symbols. We denote this value by $r_P(n,k), r_B(n,k)$, for PIR, batch codes, respectively, where $n$ is the number of information symbols. Previous results showed that for any constant $k$, $r_P(n,k) = Θ(\sqrt{n})$ and $r_B(n,k)=O(\sqrt{n}\log(n)$. In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of these codes for non-constant $k$ and specifically for $k=Θ(n^ε)$. We also study the largest value of $k$ such that the rate of the codes approaches 1, and show that for all $ε<1$, $r_P(n,n^ε) = o(n)$, while for batch codes, this property holds for all $ε< 0.5$.
