The answer here is that Google determines what resources are allocated to that API key, and those resources are then shared between any services using that key. This will include anyone using Google Maps in Anvil who hasn’t obtained a key of their own.
Unfortunately, this adds up to ‘it depends’, and if you expect your app to be getting a lot of traffic, you should probably get an API key of your own.

Great thank you - I use gmail and they have a dev. account - so would get one there I guess. Have no idea even how to use the feature at this point so no pressing concern.
Here’s a link to a post on a similar topic, long story short from most peoples experience, google cares less about global limits and more about velocity, like lots of repeated calls in a very short time.
They also like it when you send larger containers of single messages with many requests over repeated message calls with single requests in rapid succession.
But these are just ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ noticed by people using them, the limits are kind of a black box.
That is to say, they are probably posted somewhere, but they never seem to match reality until you push too hard and they suddenly snap into place, making them guidelines and not really limits.
