Hi,

I am using static map API's. I am sure that I have not exceeded the
usage limit of 1000 image requests.

But whenever I am trying with the url request, it returns usage limit
image instead of map.

The URL tried is
http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=21.0847,77.594376&maptype=mobile&zoom=5&format=jpg&size=640x480&key=MAPS_API_KEY&sensor=false

I am giving the API key correctly.
It displays only for the first request. If we change anything for
second time, then it is giving the usage limit image. for eg. if the
zoom level is increased, then it gives the usage limit image.

I would request you to suggest for the same.
Thanks for your help.

Are you using the Static Maps in a browser? A link would be
beneficial, as per the posting guidelines. How long are you allowing
between requests?

I am just giving the url in the mozilla browser. Tried link is given
as below.
http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=21.0847,77.594376&maptype=mobile&zoom=5&format=jpg&size=640x480&key=MAPS_API_KEY&sensor=false

I am simply trying in the web browser only.
In the above link, if the zoom level is changed from 5 to 6, it
replies with the usage limit image.

Kindly suggest on this.

One suggestion would be to try holding the down the Control and Shift
keys and click on the refresh (some browsers call it "reload") icon.
