What could be causing my Google Places nearby search to display atmosphere and contact information even when all fields are properly specified?

I created a fun game for the kids in my Scout troop to play while we're stuck at home during lockdown (www.riddlesdenscouts.org.uk/monsters).

I'm noticing charges on my bill for contact and atmosphere data from my local search, even though I only requested the geometry.location field. Any advice on how to fix this issue? Thank you!

  const request = {
    location: {lat: lat, lng: lon},
    radius: 1500,
    fields: ["geometry.location"],
    type:"point_of_interest",
  };
  service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map); 
  service.nearbySearch(request, (results, status) => {

If you want to narrow down the results from Nearby Search or Text Search to specific fields only, unfortunately there is no direct way to do that. However, to prevent unnecessary data retrieval and costs, you can utilize the findPlaceFromQuery method instead. You will need to provide an input query string in this case. By using a wildcard character in the query, you can retrieve a list of nearby points of interest.

const request = {
    locationBias: {
        center: {
            lat: lat,
            lng: lon
        },
        radius: 1500
    },
    query: "*",
    fields: ["geometry.location"],
};

service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
service.findPlaceFromQuery(request, (results, status) => {
    if (status === google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
        for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
            //console.log(results[i]);
        }
    }
});
