Google Maps API OVER QUERY LIMIT per second limit

Often when you need to show so many points on the map, you'd be better off using the server-side approach, this article explains when to use each:

The client-side limit is not exactly "10 requests per second", and since it's not explained in the API docs I wouldn't rely on its behavior.

The geocoder has quota and rate limits. From experience, you can geocode ~10 locations without hitting the query limit (the actual number probably depends on server loading). The best solution is to delay when you get OVER_QUERY_LIMIT errors, then retry. See these similar posts:
