I am having latitudinal and longitudinal position of around 500,000 bridges and I want the elevation of those bridges using the latitude and longitude coordinates of this bridges. I wrote a script in c# to parse elevation for all the 500000 bridges using the elevation API from the google. I generated google key with my account. Also, I enabled the billing for this account , but after few 100 request, I get an error

I read the google api limit usage and it says that I can make upto 100000 request a day with billing enabled.

How to parse the elevation for 100000 bridges in a day?
