@wbazant Nope, this is definitely my fault. I'm geocoding a large tree inventory for eventual display on the site, and hit the daily limit set on the Falling Fruit account (30,000). Extremely unlikely to ever happen under normal conditions.
Closing this for now as "fixed" in the sense that I will be better about monitoring and managing API quota limits. The limit could be removed, but this would expose us to the potential of heavy use by a nefarious 3rd party and a correspondingly large bill from Google.
I've had the dubious honor of triggering the API ofer quota today. I use a different key for localhost dev but was playtesting a beta site on another laptop. I was looking into the search behaviour, but hopefully didn't completely deplete it, I used it maybe like 10 times in total.
Anyway, the error about being overquota is not toasted on the beta site, and I had to check console.log to find out.
