Do I need Azure Maps for basic Maps visuals?

[Anonymous]

Hi, 
I've kinda issue with maps. I've activated maps in my pBI, I use them on daily basis but from this morning I see only this error message. Is this because anouncment of new Azure maps? Yes, we do not have Azure Maps allowed on my company level. Do I need them? And is there some fee for Azure maps?

Thank you!
