Google Maps Billing API Down, Breaking Website Relying on Their API

Sigh. Looks like when Google's internal API-billing is broken, they'd rather break apps that rely on the API than allow them to continue using the API while they fix their billing problem. Poor design choice by Google IMO. Maps suddenly missing from one of our web apps, Chrome developer console says "You have exceeded your request quota for this API." Log into the account to make sure card on file is OK, and am greeted with the message "The server has timed out while trying to process your request" and the API console won't display billing history.
