How to figure out where my Google Time Zone API calls come from

I have a web app that uses locations (museums, galleries), hence I have the Google Maps API set activated. Now in November, I suddenly – and for the first time ever – got billed by Google for API use: 18’000 calls of the Time Zone API.

These numbers are much higher (20x plus) than the numbers of calls of Maps Javascript, Places or Geocoding API. Hence I was wondering where these calls come from (in order to check whether they are really necessary).

I have checked out the Logs section of the Bubble backend but it looks like it’s not visible there. Or have I just searched at the wrong place?

Thank you for any hint!

In bubble.io any api call you make form front end will be trigged from user browser, so its comming from user locaiotn.

OR are you asking how can you see form gogole console where a api call was initiated ?

you should also , limit you API end to only entertain api calls form you app domain.

You need to check the reports in Google Cloud Console. Also, I would immediately invalidate that API key from Google Console and create a new one with proper domain restrictions.
