Google Places Autocomplete not available to new customers

[psharma04]

As of March 1st, 2025, google.maps.places.Autocomplete is not available to new customers. Please use google.maps.places.PlaceAutocompleteElement instead.

This error occurs any time address autocomplete: True is used for new installations, and therefore effectively prevents use of address autocomplete for new users.

I believe the new endpoint uses the new "Places (new) API". Would it be possible to update to the new method?

Have you tried https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/places-backend.googleapis.com as mentioned in the first link? Curious if this is a working solution for now. The migration to new API for existing users is > 1 year away.

I have started working on a new version of address autocomplete that uses the new Google Places API.

Version 1.8.x has support for the new API.

google:
  use places api new: True
