Caching is allowed (for up to 30 days). Here are the specific terms for the API in the article: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms/maps-service-te...

"Customer can temporarily cache latitude (lat) and longitude (lng) values from the Directions API for up to 30 consecutive calendar days, after which Customer must delete the cached latitude and longitude values."

But lat/lng pairs are pretty useless on their own, particularly with a travel times app

That might be a mistake on their side which they might repair now that they started to ask for lots of money for the data.
