As far as daily limits, in the U.S. I can withdraw up to $1,000 dollars per day. The banks I use down in the D.R., generally allows the same thing, I can take up to about 36,000 rd at any given time. But there are some banks in the D.R. that will only allow you to take out a certain amount at a time, you can use it more than one time, and withdraw up to you daily limit, but if your bank charges a fee per transaction, you have to pay that fee each time.
I was surprised on this last trip when I went to Banc Reserva on Pedro Clisante across from Super Super, when I lived there I would go there and withdraw 35,000 pesos at any time, but this trip they had a limit of only I think it was 8,000 pesos per transaction, so had to use it multiple times, when I was withdrawing money for the party. I later found out a couple of different banks on Pedro gave a better limit, Progresso for one, in the same Plaza as Super Super, and then further down the Scotia Bank.
