## Usage limits

Every tile request (2D Tiles, Street View Tiles, and root tile requests for
Photorealistic 3D Tiles) counts against your project's daily quota ("Fee Threshold") for the
Map Tiles API. Session token requests, viewport information requests,
Street View Metadata requests, and Tile requests for Photorealistic 3D Tiles don't impact
your daily quota.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Map Tiles API default quotas are subject to change. Quotas for your projects may differ from the defaults noted on this page if you've been granted a quota uplift. If you need your quota increased, contact the [support
> team](https://developers.google.com/maps/support#contact-maps-support).

### 2D Tiles and Street View Tiles

- Maximum 6,000 2D Tile, Street View Tile, Thumbnail, or
  Street View PanoID queries per project per minute, calculated as the sum of
  all requests for all applications using the credentials of the same project.

- Maximum 6,000 session token requests, viewport
  information requests, or Street View Metadata requests per project per
  minute, calculated as the sum of all requests for all applications using the
  credentials of the same project.

- Maximum 15,000 2D Tile, Street View Tile, Thumbnail, or
  Street View PanoID queries per project per day.

### Photorealistic 3D Tiles

- Maximum 10,000 root tileset queries per day. This is
  calculated as the sum of all requests for all applications using the
  credentials of the same project.

- Timed session tokens allow for up to three hours of renderer tile requests
  from a single root tileset request.

- Unlimited renderer-originating tile requests per day. This is calculated as
  the sum of all requests for all applications using the credentials of the
  same project.

- Rate limit is 12,000 queries per minute for the tile
  renderer.

## Adjust quota


Quota limits define the maximum number of requests allowed for a specific API or service within a
given timeframe. When the number of requests in your project reaches the quota limit, your service
stops responding to requests.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Important:** To understand how a quota increase might affect your bill, see the [pricing calculator](https://mapsplatform.google.com/pricing/#pricing-calculator).

To modify a quota value for your API, follow these steps:

1. In the Cloud console, go to **Google Maps Platform \> Quotas**.
2. Select the API for which you want to modify the quota.
3. Identify the quota value that you want to change, and select it using the checkbox.
4. Click **Edit** , enter a new quota value, and click **Submit request**.

### View quota increase requests

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Important:** You must have the appropriate [IAM permissions to view quota increase requests](https://cloud.google.com/docs/quotas/permissions#permissions_increase).

To view all quota increase requests, including past and pending requests, follow these steps:

1. In the Cloud console, go to **Google Maps Platform \> Quotas**.
2. Select the API for which you want to view the quota increase request.
3. Click **Increase Requests**.

> [!TIP]
> **Tip:** Monitor your quota usage regularly to avoid service interruptions. For more information, see [Quotas and quota alerts](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/manage-costs.md.txt#quotas).
