MLCC have can have poor DC bias performance, resulting capacity drop of around 80% at 80V (100V rated voltage).

See parts datasheet for rated ripple current. Manufacturers usually specify it at 100khz, 105°C. You'll usually find impedance as well, which gives you an idea how much power lost in the capacitor.

Loss is proportional to HF impedance, usually specified in the data sheet at 100 kHz.
