Two conflicting statements for google static map usage

Question

I found two conflicting statements regarding the limit usage of google stati map api

According to this link, 25 000 usage limit are allowed per day

According to

Answer 1

25000 is the limit per site, 1000 is the limit per viewer. Site is tracked by URL or developer key. Viewer is tracked by ip address. My browser loading your page would count 1 against your site limit, and 1 against my ip address viewer limit.
