Figma Make works slow after many iterations.

Is this actively being fixed? I’m roughly on version 200 in a file at it’s basically unusable. I only even have this many versions because either I ask singular small prompts at a time to avoid AI breaking something (the greater the prompt request, the more complex it becomes) or I am dealing with AI that impacts (breaks) other parts of the design for no reason so I have to ask it fix something it broke.

My files aren’t that large either, I’m only building out single pages for user testing allowing for more authentic interactions like search, filtering, and sorting data.

​@Gayani_S can you relay the “Context briefing” step (last step) to the team building the feature to help clear the history in the future, or at least be sure to consider it? 

Thank you ​@Jake_Spillar for the steps!

I’ve tried a different path since hitting the slowness.

I built a 3000 word prompt to kickstart an application wireframe in a single iteration. There are many slight differences between the results that can’t be controlled easily, but I’ve found this to be pretty good in the short term. The wireframe is recognizable.

This allowed me to create 6 different “branches” of the application in different files, where I iterated on specific features simultaneously. Being able to do these in parallel was helpful for productivity.

Now I want to merge some of these files that each have hundreds of iterations back into a single Figma Make file. I could see this need if a teammate branched off in a similar fashion.

I’m in a predicament now. I’d have to carefully re-prompt the original file to get all the files merged, but the iteration counts are prohibitive to attempting this.

So, don’t follow my path here unless small disparate Make files are sufficient for you.

Unless ​@Gayani_S can work some magic and build a merge feature for multiple Figma Make files! (?)

I’ve hit this wall now :| 

No AI editions anymore!!  always the same error TRY AGAIN WITH FEWER INPUTS.  Try to fix this but I can’t even telling to simply fix errors, two words nothing!

exported the code to cursor, could not do that anymore, too slow!!

I'm also experiencing a lot of slowness in my Make file. My portfolio has become so slow that I stopped updating it until this issue is resolved. I've even split the files to try to improve performance, but it still hasn't worked.

does anyone have a prompt structure technique to solve the recurring errors? it seems like it doesn’t end.

​@Gayani_S is there any update on this matter ? I’m hitting the wall as well now. Tried to solve it with different user but no change in speed. Seems the file is out of “AI credits”… more than happy to slot in a few more bucks ;)

Just wanted to say thanks / give kudos for this - worked beautifully - I have a very complex site, it’s got a lot of moving parts and I was up to version 479.. and I was suffering with slow downs. This helped a lot so thanks :)
