Use multiple Google Map Account for websites on the same server

I have one real website using google map and It is binded with several domains. Each domain serves for a separated group of client.

Google map announces new policy updates that apply from 11th june 2018 that decrease free limit usage from 25K map loads per day to 28K map load per month

My questions is Can I use map api key which generated from separated google account to increase free usage ?

I have read this question carefully use multiple Google Maps API Keys for same server?

But link seems broken and I can't find relevant information as answer on that question or some other questions too

In my case, although my sites have the same code based and IP, however they works like different sites on shared hosts. One more thing, Google assigns free usage based on account (not google map key) so I think I can use multiple account to increase limit

So can I do this ? I don't want to break Google rules and I appreciate for any comment
