About Autocomplete (New) sessions

An Autocomplete (New) session includes one or more Autocomplete (New) requests, and a Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request. The same session token is passed to the Autocomplete (New) request and to the subsequent Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request.

A session starts with the first Autocomplete (New) request. A Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request is then made when the user has selected one of the Autocomplete (New) suggestions. If a session is abandoned, meaning no Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request is made, Autocomplete (New) requests are charged as if no session token was provided.

After a user has selected a place (meaning a Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request is made), you must start a new session using a new session token.

Note: Session tokens can overlap across projects, but they must be unique per project. For example, an app using Project A and an app using Project B can use the same session token, while multiple apps using Project A cannot use the same session token.

A session token is good for one session and cannot be used for more than one session. If you reuse a session token, the session is considered invalid and the requests are charged as if no session token were provided.

Quota limits define the maximum number of requests allowed for a specific API or service within a given timeframe. When the number of requests in your project reaches the quota limit, your service stops responding to requests.

To modify a quota value for your API, follow these steps:

1. In the Cloud console, navigate to Google Maps Platform > Quotas.
2. Select the API for which you want to modify the quota.
3. Identify the quota value that you want to change, and select it using the checkbox.
4. Click Edit, enter a new quota value, and click Submit request.

View quota increase requests

Important: You must have the appropriate IAM permissions to view quota increase requests.

To view all quota increase requests, including past and pending requests:

2. Select the API for which you want to view the quota increase request.
