The identity door is the open item: CodeLab is only available in the Beijing region and a mainland Huawei Cloud account carries a real-name check, which is the reason for the fails-identity verdict, but I read no Huawei page that states the real-name requirement for CodeLab itself, so that specific claim is reported rather than documented.","extras":{"wave2":{"class":"perpetual-free-session-renewable","free_tier_kind":"allowance","shape":{"vcpu":null,"ram_gib":null,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":1}}}},"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:retention-clamped","num":72,"unit":"hours","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"}],"unknown":[["$.egress.metered","egress-unknown"],["$.egress.terms","not-stated"],["$.identity_cost.detail","process"],["$.per_object_cap.notes","process"],["$.per_object_cap.stated","not-applicable"],["$.reliability_note","none-observed"],["$.retention.notes","process"],["$.tooling","not-stated"]],"history":[],"drift":[]}
