Summary

  • Removes <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="86400"> from index.html.
  • Any permanently-open tab/kiosk on map.safecast.org was re-triggering a Google Maps Dynamic Maps load once per day, forever — a minor contributor to the June 2026 Maps billing spike (Track A of the cost investigation; the leaked/unrestricted API key was the main cause and has already been rotated, A3).

Deploy note

No CI/CD in this repo — per README, coordinate the actual S3 upload + CloudFront invalidation with Nick Dolezal.

Test plan

  • Confirm page no longer auto-reloads after 24h in a long-lived tab

Maps billing spike alongside the leaked API key (already rotated).
Old key was publicly exposed with no referrer restriction (root
cause of the June 2026 Maps billing spike). New key is restricted
to https://map.safecast.org/* referrers.
