AutocompleteService unusable in local environment

[DanieleMeeters]

Since yesterday I'm no longer able to use this component In my local environment because it stays always in loading mode:

In the console I see this warning:

It seems that the upgrade to the new Places API is mandatory in the next year but I don't have the time to do a refactor now.

Is there a way to use it locally as before? (I've also tried to use it over https but it didn't solve the issue)

I get the same console warning.... ... google.maps.places.AutocompleteService is not available to new customers. Please use google.maps.places.AutocompleteSuggestion instead ... etc... but in my case both the Google Maps & Places APIs have successfully loaded. The warning is actually written by https://maps.googleapis.com/maps-api-v3/api/js/60/10/intl/en_au/places.js.

I see this component uses the AutoCompleteService.

Could the package authors use google.maps.places.AutocompleteSuggestion instead?

[DanieleMeeters]

Yeah, we ask to the package author to use google.maps.places.AutocompleteSuggestion

My problem was a downtime of the AutocompleteService that happens for 2/3 days just locally (& in some code examples online) but now it's working again (until the next year I suppose).

Here the migration details to the new AutocompleteSuggestion:
