Get programmatically limit of Google Geocoding API

Question

According to Google Geocoding API (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Limits) there are limits per running requests. How to get programmatically these limits?

The only variant, is to get from Google Developers Console.

You can check the status code returned with the result, for instance I'm using geocoder library in Python:

import geocoder
:
g = geocoder.google(location)
if (g.status == "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT") or (ggl_req == 2500):
  sys.exit(0) 

Where ggl_req is a counter I use to keep track of the number of request performed so far.

Best..
