Geolocation.getCurrentPosition does not work at night - How to provide my own api key?

Question

This is a long question, perhaps a very short answer.

In my rails 5 application, I use this pretty basic JS implementation of the api geolocation JS to get the location of users from the browser:

UPDATE: Here is the whole script that uses the geocomplete plugin ( https://ubilabs.imtqy.com/geocomplete/ ):

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=<%=ENV['GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY']%>&language=<%=I18n.locale%>&libraries=places"></script>

  $(function(){
    var geolocation = null;
    var lati  = null;
    var longi = null;

    //start by drawing a default map
    nogeoloc(); 
    function nogeoloc() {
      geo(lati,longi);
      console.log("no geolocation");
    }

    // check for geolocation support
    if (window.navigator && window.navigator.geolocation) {
      geolocation = window.navigator.geolocation;
    }
    if (geolocation) {
      geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error, positionOptions);
    }
    var positionOptions = {
      enableHighAccuracy: true,
      timeout: 10 * 1000, // 10 seconds
    };
    //in case of user permission, center the map at user' location
    function success(position) {
      lati  = position.coords.latitude;
      longi = position.coords.longitude;
      geo(lati,longi);
      console.log("geo data obtained");
    }
    // if denied permission or error, do nothing
    function error(positionError) {
      console.log("error");
      console.log(positionError);

Somehow ridiculous, the problem is that this implementation works fine during the day (I'm based in Germany), but at night it returns an error in both Firefox and Chrome :).

Error code returned in Firefox: { code: 2, message: "Unknown error acquiring position" }Chrome prints additional information:message: "Network location provider at 'https://www.googleapis.com/' : Returned error code 403."

, 403 , api. , :).

, firefox google goi geo.wifi.uri voilà, .
