Just got a nasty surprise bill from google under new pricing model, getting hit about $5 per day.
Cost was for geocoding API. How can I get data on what this cost is made up of (e.g. service, domain, source IP … anything to identify how to drive down cost).
Besides the vendor location map is there anything else that uses this service in a default multivendor ultimate instalation?
How are people reducing their cost?
are you using the free allocation, around 10,000 ?
yes on default with free 10k.
The Maps and geolocation add-on uses it as well.
last couple of months getting hit with 200.00 + bill for geolocation API.
Is there a way to limit it just to the backend?
You can try removing all the Maps and geolocation and Vendor location add-ons blocks from the theme’s layout pages.
I disabled the Customer location block that was in the default layout, waiting for next billing with fingers crossed.
