JMP Google Reviews Can Not Connect to Google Server

After working correctly for a while, I am seeing a Can not connect to Google server error message in the JMP Google Reviews module display. A Google search returns no relevant hits for this error.

I am using version 1.0.0 (10 Oct, 2022) of JMP Google Reviews on a Joomla 3.10.11 website running under PHP version 8.1.4. The staging version of the same website on my own computer using PHP 8.1.7-1ubuntu3 shows the same error.

I have confirmed the Place ID of the business. It has not changed.

I see the error message in the Firefox, Brave, Chrome and Opera browsers. The console report of Firefox's web developer tool shows no errors.

Is there some problem on the Google Reviews side of this? Is there a way to repair this problem?

Since my original posting earlier today I have also tested the Place IDs of two competing businesses known to have Google Reviews. When entered into the module, I received the same error message for those also.

I confirm problem with module!

"Can not connect to Google server. Try again later."

I'm confused. If the service is being discontinued, who will take care of this? Do we have options?
