Recently figma updated rate-limits, and i need orientation/insights on how to handle the implication of that in my project.

So, our project used figma REST API to extract a JSON and images from design journeys on figma. Using that, we validate a series of internal rules on how to develop screens journeys for our organization.

The thing is, this solution is used by a lot of designers , and they dont have the dev mode or a seat that allows them to make more than 6 requisitions/month (and they need way more than that).

The only solution for that would be run the application on a personal token that has a higher seat? Or is there a way that i can upgrade the rate-limit of the application itself? 

All designers that use this application making a seat-upgrade would bring us much cost. I’m trying to understand if i have any alternatives here. 

I saw something about the API Tier having different rate-limits. Is that something i can work with or change? Maybe change the API to increase the rate-limit by increasing the Tier?

Help, please!
