The pattern is the classic stale-index trap the brief names. Huawei International signup itself is genuinely email-first: email address, then a mobile number, then a credit card, per its own account guide. If a free package were still issued on registration the identity cost would be email, which is why the dead page matters. A third-party review asserts the 2026 list contained only management and security services (Auto Scaling, DNS, Anti-DDoS, IAM, CTS, AOM, SWR, RFS, SMS, Cloud Eye) and no ECS, EVS or OBS; that is reported, not confirmed, because the page is gone and the archive capture offered is from 2025-09.","extras":{"wave2":{"class":"regional","free_tier_kind":"none","shape":null}}},"claims":[{"path":"$.free_tier.stated","kind":"free-quota","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[0].value","kind":"limit:write-gated","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"}],"unknown":[["$.egress.metered","egress-unknown"],["$.egress.terms","not-stated"],["$.identity_cost.detail","process"],["$.interface","interface-unknown"],["$.per_object_cap.notes","process"],["$.per_object_cap.stated","not-applicable"],["$.reliability_note","none-observed"],["$.retention.notes","process"],["$.retention.stated","not-applicable"],["$.tooling","not-stated"]],"history":[],"drift":[]}
