Every tile request (2D Tiles, Street View Tiles, and root tile requests for
Photorealistic 3D Tiles) counts against your project's daily quota ("Fee Threshold") for the
Map Tiles API. Session token requests, viewport information requests,
Street View Metadata requests, and Tile requests for Photorealistic 3D Tiles don't impact
your daily quota.
2D Tiles and Street View Tiles
Maximum 6,000 2D Tile, Street View Tile, Thumbnail, or
Street View PanoID queries per project per minute, calculated as the sum of
all requests for all applications using the credentials of the same project.
Maximum 6,000 session token requests, viewport
information requests, or Street View Metadata requests per project per
minute, calculated as the sum of all requests for all applications using the
credentials of the same project.
Maximum 15,000 2D Tile, Street View Tile, Thumbnail, or
Street View PanoID queries per project per day.
Photorealistic 3D Tiles
Maximum 10,000 root tileset queries per day. This is
calculated as the sum of all requests for all applications using the
credentials of the same project.
Timed session tokens allow for up to three hours of renderer tile requests
from a single root tileset request.
Unlimited renderer-originating tile requests per day. This is calculated as
the sum of all requests for all applications using the credentials of the
same project.
Rate limit is 12,000 queries per minute for the tile
renderer.
Adjust quota
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:
In the Cloud console, navigate to Google Maps Platform > Quotas.
Select the API for which you want to modify the quota.
Identify the quota value that you want to change, and select it using the checkbox.
Click Edit, enter a new quota value, and click Submit request.
View quota increase requests
To view all quota increase requests, including past and pending requests:
In the Cloud console, navigate to Google Maps Platform > Quotas.
Select the API for which you want to view the quota increase request.
