I think that the library is using the old GCP Places API and thus I can not take it into use anymore?

I am getting these errors even though everything should be enabled in my opinion:

This API project is not authorized to use this API. Places API error: ApiNotActivatedMapError
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#api-not-activated-map-error

places_impl.js:60 [react-places-autocomplete]: error happened when fetching data from Google Maps API.
Please check the docs here (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_details_responses)
Status: REQUEST_DENIED

In GCP it is no longer possible to enable the legacy Places API.

I had a similar issue.
Creating a new token in the new Places API did the trick for me. Make sure to select all services related to Google Maps, like Direction API.
