Maps API keys for geocoding not working anymore?

It seems that the generated keys in the Google API's console are not working anymore. With different keys (tried it with both server and browser key, however the server key is what I need), generated from different accounts I get constantly the following errors:

Error when using server key:

{
   "error_message" : "This site or IP is not authorized to use this API key.",
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

Error when using browser key:

{
   "error_message" : "The provided API key is expired.",
   "results" : [],
   "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

And these are the enabled services on this account/project: http://upload.uprise.nl/et2j

This is the URL I'm trying: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=900+Maple+Avenue%2C+L7S+2J8+Burlington+%28Ontario%29%2C+Canada&oe=utf8&sensor=false&key=mykey

Without the key it is working until I reach my daily limit (which causes the OVER_QUERY_LIMIT status).

Are more people experiencing this?

I have faced same issue... But finally got resolved. Google place services will take 10 minutes to make the services available for new API KEY created. Services will stat working after 10 minutes, till then we get error as "The provided API key is expired."
