Reduce Google Places API requests

Question

While map loads has reduced to $0.5 per 1000, and geocoding can be performed at client side, I can't seem to find how can Places requests be reduced. Furthermore,

"Note that some services may have a multiplier. For example, Text Search is subject to a 10 times multiplier, causing each Text Search request to count as 10 requests against your quota."

If my app has the features to suggest hotels, restaurants, etc, doesn't each panning constitute one request?

Answer 1

"...query limit of 2,500 geolocation requests per day. (User of Google Maps API for Business may perform up to 100,000 requests per day.)" https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/

You could add a delay to your input auto suggest. At least then users inputting text will be reduced. This was done on a project I work with, and it cut down requests by a big chunk.
