About Autocomplete (New) sessions
An Autocomplete (New) session includes one or more Autocomplete (New) requests, and a
Place Details (New) request or Address Validation request. The same session token is passed to the
Autocomplete (New) request and to the subsequent Place Details (New) request or Address Validation
request.
A session starts with the first Autocomplete (New) request. A Place Details (New) request or
Address Validation request is then made when the user has selected one of the Autocomplete (New)
suggestions. If a session is abandoned, meaning no Place Details (New) request or
Address Validation request is made, Autocomplete (New) requests are charged as if no session token
was provided.
After a user has selected a place (meaning a Place Details (New) request or Address Validation
request is made), you must start a new session using a new session token.
A session token is good for one session and cannot be used for more than one
session. If you reuse a session token, the session is considered invalid and the requests are charged as if no session token were provided.

Pricing varies across SKUs, such as Place Details, Autocomplete, Nearby Search, Text Search, Data and Photos, with monthly credits and volume-based discounts.\n"]]
