Google Maps Billing API Down, Breaking Website Relying on Their API

16 pointsby pardnerabout 6 years ago
Sigh. Looks like when Google&#x27;s internal API-billing is broken, they&#x27;d rather break apps that rely on the API than allow them to continue using the API while they fix their billing problem.<p>Poor design choice by Google IMO.<p>Maps suddenly missing from one of our web apps, Chrome developer console says &quot;You have exceeded your request quota for this API.&quot; Log into the account to make sure card on file is OK, and am greeted with the message &quot;The server has timed out while trying to process your request&quot; and the API console won&#x27;t display billing history.

That is tricky. What stops a developer creating a service worker that catches all the requests to the billing API and purposely fails them?
