Google Custom Search API: The billing information added but still not going beyond the free query limit

Question

I have activated billing, and added the information, but it's still not going beyond the free query limit; it says:

{
  "code" : 403,
  "errors" : [ {
    "domain" : "usageLimits",
    "message" : "Daily Limit Exceeded",
    "reason" : "dailyLimitExceeded"
  } ],
  "message" : "Daily Limit Exceeded"
}

I also tried creating a new API, but it didn't help. Anyone has any idea?

Here is the code I use:

Builder builder = new Customsearch.Builder(GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport(), new JacksonFactory(), null);
builder.setApplicationName("Search Test");
builder.setCustomsearchRequestInitializer(new CustomsearchRequestInitializer() {
    @Override
    protected void initializeCustomsearchRequest(CustomsearchRequest<?> request) throws IOException {

        request.setKey("???");  
        request.set("cx", "013036536707430787589:_pqjad5hr1a");
        request.set("start", start); 
    }
});
Customsearch customsearch = builder.build();
Search searchResult = customsearch.cse().list(searchTerm).execute();


System.out.println("About " + searchResult.getSearchInformation().getTotalResults() + " results available");
List<Result> items = searchResult.getItems();

In the console, I tried to increase the quota manually, but it doesn't work. Here is what I clicked on:

And change the value:

And after ok everything looks fine:

But after refreshing the page, everything reverts back (quota 0, for today; just like the first image).

Note that I have added the billing information:

Update: Seems like there is a bug with the new console. I changed the quota from the old console and it worked!

Answer 1

The new console is buggy. As I explained in the question, I was not able to increase the quota. Instead I used the old console and it is working fine.
