Pictures deleted from Icloud.
Is there a way I can recuperate my pictures I uploaded to Icloud and because I also deleted them from my phone storage, now I noticed that they also got deleted from Icloud?
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13

Check Recently Deleted. See: Get help with missing photos - Apple Support
As you have found, iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264
Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.
