The query limit on the Places API web service is different from the JS limit

Question

I was developing an application which uses the places API through the Javascript Library (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places), and although I was making hundreds of searches with it at any given time, I never seemed to go over the limit.

I've decided to move the search aspect of my application to the server-side, though, because I was developing a mobile version and didn't want mobile browsers doing 100+ requests at a time. So, I switched to using the Web Service API (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/)

In doing so I seem to be going over the query limit all of a sudden. What is the reason for this? Is there any way I can solve this without having to increase my query limit?

Thanks!

I believe that using the Google Maps JavaScript API v3 you are limited with this policy and by using the Google Places API you have these limits.I think you should go through verification so you raise the limit from 1000 to 100000
