You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable

I was also Facing the same issue, Billing is enabled and is linked to the project but I was getting the same Error.

After Spending enough time on this issue, I understood that the type of my billing account is "Google Cloud Platform", but it should be of type : "Google Maps Platform"

You can see the type of your billing account on the right side of Billing Overview as in the image:

So please check if your Billing type is "Google Maps Platform", if not create a new Billing Account with "Google Maps Platform" as type and link your project to this Billing Account.
