The geocoding requests that API applications generate are sent directly from the user's browser to Google. They do not go through your firewall unless you are proxying all of their requests via your servers, which is a very bad idea.
This being the case your end users are probably not being blocked. However if you have a lot of users on your network who reach Google via your firewall, then the IP address of that firewall might be running out of quota, in which case those users will be blocked. If you are one of those users it's easy to assume that the block affects all users when in fact it only affects the users on your network. That having been said, in v3 the request rate is throttled in the client so that it can be enforced per user rather than per IP. The 15,000 per day limit does not apply, but you will still find that some requests will fail if your application attempts to make too many requests too quickly on behalf of a single end user. Thor.
