Tell us what you are trying to do?
Activate my Google Maps API Key on the Toolset Settings page.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Yes, the Toolset documentation and it is out of date. https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/display-on-google-maps/creating-a-google-maps-api-key/

It would be helpful if you updated the Toolset Documentation to specify which of the three different Google Maps APIs we're supposed to use. There are three different Maps APIs to choose from but the documentation doesnt say which to use:
Maps Embed API
Maps JavaScript API
Maps Static API

What is the link to your site? hidden link

REQUEST_DENIED - This API project is not authorized to use this API.
The map renders, but none of the other functionality works.
I have completed all of the site ownership verification steps on the google side, including setting up my billing account.
