This message is displayed when you have not enabled one or more of the Google Maps APIs on your project which are required for the plugin to function.

The Places API is required for address fields – the autosuggest will display this message if you do not enable the Places API.

The Geocoding API is required for adding and editing marker addresses – the plugin cannot translate addresses into coordinates without the Geocoding API.
