## Is there a rate limit on the API?

For computing routes, there is a default rate limit of 3,000 QPM
(requests per minute).

For computing a route matrix, the rate limit is 3,000 EPM
(elements per minute, calculated by number of origins × number of destinations).

See [Usage limits and billing](https://developers.google.com/maps/faq.md.txt#usage-limits) for more information.
