I disagree. 403 indicates that the request should not be resubmitted because it will generate the same response. However for a geocode, the request *can* be resubmitted and may result in a different response. Thus 403 is not correct. 409 [Conflict, take action to correct before resubmitting] is a better status: the action to take is to wait a little before resubmitting the request. Even 200 would be better than 403, because the server is correctly serving a valid response to the request, which happens not to contain any geographic information but does contain supplementary data.
