Tuya provides a wealth of cloud services for you to accelerate cloud development. You can subscribe to the cloud services on a pay-as-you-go basis as you want. It is important to know that a basic resource pack is a mandatory prerequisite to using cloud services. The basic resource pack you have purchased provides the quota of API calls and message services, and also determines the service price if your monthly usage exceeds the quota.
