This is using a Google API the way it's meant to be used, and the API offers up to 100 free requests a day after which you need to pay.
The odds of Google deciding to ban you for using their public API are presumably similar to the odds of them deciding to ban you for using their other public services. So maybe high enough that you would t want to build a business plan around it, but I'm not sure why you're specifically worried that a user would get banned from the whole of Google for using a Google API.

- Handytinge 5y agoDoesn't sound that dissimilar to what Google themselves do.
