Slaks. i want fix error "You have exceeded your daily request quota for this API.". – Hartford

Did you add the API Key? <google api url here>?key=MY_SERVER_KEY Sometimes, with a misconfigured API Key, it tends to give an API Limit error. If you did add the right key, then you reached you daily quota, which is about 25k requests / day since I've last checked – Plater

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/articles/usage_limits#limitexceeded

You can exceed the Google Maps API Web Services usage limits by:

Sending too many requests per day.
Sending requests too fast, i.e. too many requests per second.
Sending requests too fast for too long or otherwise abusing the web service.
Exceeding other usage limits, e.g. points per request in the Elevation API.

Upon receiving a response with status code OVER_QUERY_LIMIT, your application should determine which usage limit has been exceeded. This can be done by pausing for 2 seconds and resending the same request. If status code is still OVER_QUERY_LIMIT, your application is sending too many requests per day. Otherwise, your application is sending too many requests per second.

thanks for the explanation. but I am using the google place/autocomplete and there is a reason to be call the api on each keyboard key press. and yes the api can be called twice/thrice in a sec some times. Also please tell what do you mean by too many requests (in number) – Dierdre
