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.
well that did not make much difference, google just nailed me 299.60 for google cloud service.
Any have pointers where to trim it down? is it just geolocation or is captcha also in the bill. google is no help in displaying a breakdown of the costs (at least I can t find it)
