How the Map Tiles API is billed
The Map Tiles API uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model. The Google Maps Platform APIs
and SDKs are billed by SKU. Usage is tracked for each SKU, and any API or SDK may have more than one
product SKU
. Cost is calculated by
SKU usage × Price per each use
Use our
Pricing
and Usage calculator
to estimate your usage cost per API or SDK. For qualifying
Google Maps Platform SKUs, a $200 USD Google Maps Platform credit is available each month
for each billing account. This credit is automatically
applied
1
to the qualifying SKUs.

Manage your cost of use
To manage your cost of use of the Map Tiles API or to meet the demands of your production
traffic, set daily quota limits on all requests to any API. Daily quotas are reset at
midnight Pacific time.
To view or change quota limits for the Map Tiles API:
- In the Cloud Console, open the
Google Maps Platform Quotas
page
.
- Click the APIs drop-down and select the
Map Tiles API
.
- To view the quota limits, scroll down to the
Requests
card.
A table lists the quota names and limits.

Edit
icon for that limit.
In the dialog that appears, in the
Quota Limit
field, enter the
preferred billable daily quota limit (up to the quota limit, if any, specified by Google)
and select
Save

If your API usage reaches your billable quota limit on any given day, your application will not
be able to access the API for the remainder of that day.
