Usage limits

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.

Note: Map Tiles API default quotas are subject to change. Quotas for your projects may differ from the defaults noted on this page if you've been granted a quota uplift. If you need your quota increased, contact the support team.

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.
