We have a valid license from Google and we have enabled the Google Maps Geocoding API. It seems that it set a quota of 2500 requests per day and if we reach this limit then we are banned. I thought that this quota is set for free usage only. Is this quota normal ?
The 2500 limit, is for only while you don't pay, after then you can pay $0.50 per additional 1000 requests, up to 100,000, as you can see here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/usage-limits
Google Maps API having their own limitations.

I using map place api, gecoding api and direction api in my app. For two months already see the photos below. But haven't got charged for any money. Why is that?
As the analytics shows, you haven't crossed 11500 Places API calls or 40000 Directions API call. Google Maps now provides $200 free monthly usage. Head over to this link to know the number of requests per API your monthly $200 free credit can support. Also, add daily quota to restrict the usage.
I am looking at the Google Web Services pricing on:
https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/
If I look at:
Google Maps Directions API
Google Maps Geocoding API
They say on the web page Free up to 2,500 requests per day.
This would be free if I use both or is it for an aggregate total of all these one listed.
Google Maps Directions API = 2000
Google Maps Geocoding API = 500
So if I did another query on either then I would be charged. Or can I go to 2500 on each of the items before I am charged?
Google Maps Directions API
Google Maps Distance Matrix API 4
Google Maps Elevation API
Google Maps Geocoding API
Google Maps Geolocation API
Google Maps Roads API
Google Maps Time Zone API
Thanks,

Each web service has its own usage quota. You can execute up to 2.5K daily requests free of charge for each one.
For further details please refer to the documentation:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/usage-limits
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/usage-limits
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/usage-limits
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/elevation/usage-limits
Also, note that distance matrix usage is measured in number of elements and not in number of requests. The number of elements is a number of origins times a number of destinations in your request. So, sending for example 5 origins and 5 destinations (25 elements) in each distance matrix request you will be able to execute only 100 daily requests free of charge.
In the google maps API usage limits, it is mentioned 2,500 requests per day.
please define request with respect to Street view Google Maps API.
I think you misread it. The limit is "Free until exceeding 25,000 map loads per day for 90 consecutive days"

I'm using Google Maps JavaScript API to load and search(geocoding) locations on map. As google suggests to use API key, I'm using the API key in my site so i can monitor the requests too.
Also google says;
Client-side geocoding will not face a quota limit unless you perform a
batch of geocoding requests within a user session. Therefore, running
client-side geocoding, you generally don't have to worry about your
quota.
But when I check the usage via Google Developer console, the request keep counting even i'm accessing and searching the location from different browsers(sessions). it seems that Google count all sessions geocoding requests into one place. is that mean, I get quota limit when it reaches 2500? or no need to warry about it as google says "you generally don't have to worry about your quota." or am I missing something?
Thanks.
From Geocoding Strategies-> Quota Considerations
Client-side geocoding through the browser is rate limited per map session,
so the geocoding is distributed across all your users and scales with your userbase. Geocoding quotas and rate limits drive the strategies outlined in this article.
And from Quota summary
Daily quota resets at midnight Pacific Time (PT).
Free quota 2,500 requests/day
Total quota 2,500 requests/day
Remaining 2,500 requests/day 100% of total
I desume you can use free only 2500 geocoding /day
How many requests are you allowed to make using google maps API?
Please refer to the usage policy here. For free version of the Geocoding API, the max allowable limit if 2500 requests per day.
