AI Image Generation Beta says RATE LIMIT EXCEEDED

Hi!
Same problem here :(
Can't work for now.

What means “few day”?
I’m blocked since yesterday, should i find an other solution or will i be allowed to work today with you AI?

Thx,
Simon

Hey ​@SimonHcqd ! I totally understand how frustrating it is to be blocked -- really sorry you’re running into this.

When we say "a few days," it’s more of an estimate. I don’t have an exact timeline to share at the moment. I know it’s far from ideal, and if you’re on a tight deadline, using an alternative solution in the meantime might help keep things moving.

Thanks so much for your patience!

Hey! Just testing the quote feature :)

Hey there! 👋

I totally understand the frustration with rate limits - it's one of the biggest pain points with Figma's built-in AI generation, especially when you're in a creative flow.

If you're looking for an alternative while dealing with these limits, you might want to check out Calino - it's an AI image generator plugin I built specifically for Figma that doesn't have the same rate limit restrictions as the native feature.

Key differences that might help:

• No daily rate limits (uses a credit system instead)
• Generate multiple variations at once (4 images per generation)
• Higher quality output with more style options
• Better prompt understanding for design-specific needs
• Batch processing for multiple frames

The plugin is available free in the Figma Community, and you get starter credits to try it out. Since it uses a different AI backend than Figma's native tool, you won't run into those "rate limit exceeded" messages.

To find it: Search "Calino" in the Figma Community plugins section or go thru https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1517540693787924133

Obviously, Figma's native AI is great when it works - but having a backup option that doesn't hit limits can be a real workflow saver, especially for client projects with tight deadlines.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions about it.

I recommend switching to another design tool. Look at their prices and plans, these guys are just evil. I mean, what they did to Dev Mode is just insane. And their Credit System for AI is far from ideal user experience, everything is hidden. Such a shame, another Google case.

Imagine replying to your subscribed users: few days… lol! Total disrespect. 

It would be nice to have an option to see when my credits will renew. Had that “Rate limit exceeded” feedback and no information about when it will renew. Since I’m on organization plan, I believe this doesn’t renew daily and I don’t know when I will be able to generate new images within Figma.
