I have a model Events with geocoded_by :address and after_validation :geocode, I also have a google api key in my geocoder.rb (initializer). The key is enabled for GeocodingAPi. When I run .geocode in console I have a limit error message.

2.5.3 :024 > Geocoder.coordinates("25 Main St, Cooperstown, NY")
Google API error: over query limit.

or 

2.5.3 :030 > a.full_address
 => "80,  Rue des Capucins, Paris" 
2.5.3 :031 > a.geocode
Google API error: over query limit.
 => nil 
2.5.3 :032 >

I have not used that API at all today, so I am sure this cannot be a limit issue. I am testing on localhost, so cannot be a shared server limit issue either. Anybody know what should be done/checked in such case ?

Geocoder.configure(
   lookup: :google,            
   ip_lookup: :ipinfo_io,      
   use_https: true,           
   api_key: nil,               
   cache: Redis.new,                 
  api_key: 'AIzaSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
