I need to know how to reset the query limit for the Google Maps API v3. I know that I exceeded it more than three days ago, but it has not reset and I am still hitting it if I send more then 5 requests. How do I restore it completely to be able to get that 2500 (or whatever the request limit is) again?
I need to geocode some addresses and put them (lat, lon) into a database. I have done so far 2500 addresses. I need to do another 1000 and then it will be just one request on page load.
According to the Google Geocoding API documentation, there are actually two limits. First of all, there is the 2,500 request per day limit, which you say you triggered a few days ago. However, there is also a separate rate limit, which is probably what you are hitting here.
The rate limit will prevent you from making many successive geocoding requests in a short time, which it seems is what you’re trying to do. There is no way around this, since making 1,000 requests on a single pageload is not the intended use of the Google Geocoding API.
Additional, according to Google:
This probably means that your overall plan to use the Google geocoder and store the results in a database is a violation of Google’s terms of service.
