From November 20, 2019, Google deprecating these properties to bring consistency across Places API clients on different platforms (the Maps JavaScript API, the Places SDK for Android, the Places SDK for iOS). These properties have been replaced as follows: utc_offset, by utc_offset minutes opening hours.open now, by the is Open() method in Place Details requests only. Additionally, for Find Place, Nearby Search and Text Search requests, we provide alternative solutions for determining whether a place is open. As a result, starting November 20, 2020, the Maps JavaScript API’s Places Library will stop accepting the properties in the fields parameter and stop returning them in response to such requests. Instead, developers will receive the ‘Unsupported field name’ error when using these properties in the fields parameter and the value `undefined` when reading these properties from the Place Result object in the response.👍
