The site appears to be using the komoot.de geocoding and it works for me. https://photon.komoot.de/ says: "please be fair - extensive usage will be throttled". If you are using the service intensively, it might be a good idea to install your own Photon instance - see https://github.com/komoot/photon

Thank you for your comment. Please explain if I understand you correctly. Does this mean that we use the map too much and therefore need to install a different map?

I do not know how much you are using the map and I am not the person running the photon.komoot.de web site. You might want to ask them directly. And this is not about "installing a different map", but about who pays for the server that runs the search. At the moment, komoot.de are paying for you; at some point you might have to pay for the server resources yourselves. i.e. rent a server and install the software on that machine.
