Google Maps Javascript API quota is set to 1

I'm receiving this error when using Maps Javascript API

Maps error

Apparently, it's because I have exceeded my quota limit; however Google states I have up to 100,000 requests per 24 hours (Google Usage Limits)

When I access Gmy API dashboard, it states my quota limit is one on "Map loads per day".

Google quota limit

Appreciate your help, tnks

I've been having this issue too - however Google documentation contradicts itself in places.

According to "Detailed guide for users of the standard Google Maps JavaScript API" - Enable Billing (step 7) is optional.

Yet clicking more info gives you "You must enable billing on each of your projects" - it's all a bit irritating as this causes confusion for clients (as well as devs!)

OpenStreetMaps is a nice alternative, bit harder to get up and running with and no nice scroll block by default. I'm currently switching to this while Google alienate their userbase
