Finding your recent Google Maps usage

Although most of our clients use Google Maps for free due to their generous monthly free credit, it’s still a good idea to keep an eye on your usage to avoid any surprises.
You can easily check your recent usage on the Google Maps dashboard.

Basic usage report

To get started, open this link to view the overview of your Google Maps services.

Under billing, you’ll see a graph of your recent usage:

The area of the bars under the red dotted line indicate usage that's covered by Google’s free credit - you won’t be charged for this portion.
The dashed red line indicates the monthly free usage limit. If a part of any bar is above the dashed line, this indicates usage over the free credit amount, and this portion will be billed to your credit card at the end of the month.

Detailed usage report

It's also possible to view a more granular breakdown of the specific services being used day-by-day.

  2. Click the Credits filter, and then click All to turn off (unselect) all of the options there:

    Normally the report hides usage covered by the free credit. Turning off the "Credits" filter will display usage even when it's covered by the credit and not charged.

  3. You may also want to click the Time range filter and choose Last 90 days for a longer report:

The report will then show recent usage of your key by day, with color-coded bars for each separate service. The total usage appears in a report at the bottom:
