Says it all right here. “Too many prompts, wait and try again soon. Request ID: 7b50ccc3-3ebb-4f14-8286-d038ccb39f7c”.I paid for the Professional team (monthly) subscription to Figma.Why are you limiting my access before March of 2026? It’s not what I agreed to when I made these monthly purchases before that date in time. I’m getting ripped off.This program also is *terrible* at saving my work, and I have had to re-correct it almost every single time I reopen the program up to continue my classwork. So even if I agreed to this, the program forces me to spend time fixing up what it didn’t decide to save. After multiple fail-safes I have put in.Stop. Wasting. My. Time. Give me access to the program I paid for. This is a class with a deadline, and I’ve already tried moving this project into a different program, the functionality does not translate over.Never using this after my class. What GARBAGE.I literally cannot use this program to turn in this assignment now.Thanks for that. AI was s

The greyed out collections matches my real collection name, but not the number I have a “ghost” set of variable collections in my library file (greyed out, but i can see the variables).I cannot see any of my true “theming” colors in files that’s using this library. I think the ghost variable count is overriding the real collections.

Hi there! I have noticed a change in the behavior of annotations while zooming the canvas that is challenging our workflow.Up until the latest update, annotations would have a fixed maximum size at zoom levels between 25600% (max) and 100%. Zooming out to levels below 100%, they would start scaling down.Now however, this threshold seems to have been lowered from 100% to 50%. Why is it a problem?Because we space out our screen designs so that the gaps in between can comfortably hold annotations, no matter the zoom value.This now leads to annotations overlapping adjacent screens and blocking them visibly. Increasing the spacing is out of question because screens are already generously spread apart.Moreover, in projects with extensive documentation, where annotations stack vertically, this behavior reaches a whole new dimension (literally, the Y axis 😅). It causes situations where zooming in on a screen to a readable size (between 100% and 50%) makes it impossible to see annotations beca

Hi! I just created a website home page with Figma AI (it should be on Figma Sites). Now, i'd like to move it to my elementor so i can use it to make my effective website.I've read that i can only do this with plugins, but it seems that i can only use plugins with Figma Design, correct?And so, i have some questions:Can i make my “Figma Sites” page become a “Figma Design” page?  If yes, can i do it for free or i should upgrade Figma license to professional?I have the free version on Figma, and on Sites it looks like i can’t even edit elements without asking AI. So i can’t see layers and all that stuff. Can you help me with that? Thanks!

I created a connected project in Figma and invited my client (we both have pro plans). My client added one of his files to collaborate with.Now we want to move his file (they created that file in their workspace a long time ago) out of our shared project again, but neither me or him are able to do so.Any ideas how to do this?

ello, I'm just learning Figma Make and I'm having problems with the prototype. The interactive Figma Make prototype sometimes opens, sometimes not. My colleagues have no problem opening it. But for me, the loader just keeps spinning. What could be the problem? 

Hi everyone! How are you actually using AI in UI/UX or product design workflows? Does it truly speed up wireframes, components, copy, and variations — or does it mostly create more cleanup work? Share real examples, pros/cons, and best practices.

Hi, I am trying to get the dropdown box to overlap the frame below but everytime i click ‘product suite’, it auto moves everything aside display the dropdown box. Currently it is on auto-layoutHow do i get it to overlap the frame below instead and not move everything else?

I am using Figma Desktop MCP with VSCode and I am trying to build a complete prototype (POC) of an app based on designs. So I have created an agent with some instuctions like to get this page node which contains many desings. I have instructed the Agent to use get_metadata, as the page contains many designs and if run get_design_context in the page node it will fallback to get_metadata anyhow. The problem here is that together with the ouput content of the ge t_metadata there is also a note:“IMPORTANT: After you call this tool, you MUST call get_design_context if trying to implement the design, since this tool only returns metadata. If you do not call get_design_context, the agent will not be able to implement the design.” Issue with this is that if the get_design_context after the get_metadata it picks only the first design it sees. I tried to build an agent skill to parse the page node metadata and export the design nodes which will provided to the agent to iterate over each design n

Hi! Trying to create a component that on click, rotates itself 180 degrees smoothly (and would affect another component, but that’s for later).I created two components, and linked them as a variant, with one duplicated from the other and rotated. I set in prototype for both of them, when clicked, to change to the other variation, with smart animate on. I then copied one of the variants and pasted it into my project. It seems to react when clicked on, but nothing happens to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

I am a small publisher.  Been in business for 35 yrs.  My first inventory system was on Pic/MV Base and it was a green screen inventory system for textbooks named Comtext. I didnt make it… i licensed my use and then drove that company crazy for a decade getting them , and its creator to customize it for me.  now, 35 yrs later, im a publisher and i work with professors to help them build their own custom textbooks for their courses. I am building an entire ERP/CRM/Inventory system and production mgt tracker for my whole business.  It will eventually include customer portals, accounting and all sorts of other modules.  Im going it ALL myself.. and i have GPT (Sage) and Claude helping me.  They help prompt Fig (thats what I am naming my agent lol) to keep him straight , and to help track all the work that needs to be done. Despite my lack of programming and coding skills.. ive been around all of it for a long time so I have a top level strategic approach, but a developer engineer I am not

Hi, I am getting an error accessing my file "This is an unassigned draft file.” I need help trying to re-access it or to see who is currently the admin of the file. I thought it was a file I created in a group project, but I am now receiving this error. Thanks for the help!

Hey, I new to Figma and I'm currently using the Figma MCP after designing my first frame - yeah, just a frame. I wanted to know how (well) the MCP works.I tried it with VS Code and Antigravity yet and the LLMs have problems with formating the components correctly and I don't know why.Texts overlap, components which are positioned lower in the actual Figma Frame are positioned higher in React Native. For instance I created a grey elipse which you see just half on the screen to create a "visual border". In React Native the LLM always positions the elipse to high.Is there a specific workflow which I have to follow to get the best / most precise results? As I said - I'm new :)

With AI tools evolving so fast, what do you think matters more right now — smarter models or better real-world integration and automation? Curious how others see this playing out.

Soy nuevo en el programa y tengo poco conocimiento respecto a como usar el programa. Sin embargo estoy tomando un curso por medio de Udemy el cual me esta ayudando a conocer las herramientas de FIGMA. en este momento tengo una duda respecto a las variables, pues al seleccionar un grupo de variables y querer duplicarlo no me permite realizar la acción y tengo que crear un nuevo grupo de manera manual, en lugar de duplicarlo. si doy doble click o utilizo los comando simplemente no sucede nada y no me arroja opciones. me gustaría saber como puedo solucionarlo o si es una herramienta que ya no esta disponible en el programa 

On the desktop app,  I can open my project. However only the AI chat column is there.  I can't get to the layers panel or anything else.  I've worked on this for 3 hours.  Unistalling and reinstalling. Dragging bars left and right.  Nothing works.  Help!

Organization  A would like to do creative development in the Figma instance for Org A.  When their development is approved, they would then like to move it to Org B’s instance.  Org B is the source of truth for the current production creative.  While Org A will develop in Org A’s Figma, there will also be people directly developing in Org B’s instance.  Org A is not open to using a logically partitioned space on Org B’s instance and must use their own instance.Org A will need a sync of all production creative changes from Org B, so they can ensure they have the current creative to start with.  Is there a way to sync updated files between organizations?Is there anyway to do code versioning and control across the two instances?

Hello,In the color picker and with the eyedropper tool disabled, when I hover the rows of previously used colors, I don’t get the tooltip with the hex value of the color I am about to select. Instead, I get the eyedropper! I remember only a few days ago there was a tooltip there and it was very useful before any selection - the eyedropper doesn’t help at all, it’s like forcing me to choose based on visuals only. I couldn’t find any setting that could possibly have affected this. Any ideas?Thanks

Hi, occasionally I want to give access to members of my membership or to customers. This is usually for simple things like voting on a Figjam board. Do I really have to pay 5 Dollars for each member I give access to a single board for a short moment?

Hi everyone I’m currently designing a word-puzzle interface inspired by the NYT Letter Boxed game, and I’m exploring the best way to structure it in Figma. What I’m working on:The UI includes: A square/boxed layout with letters placed around the edges Interactive letter states (default, selected, used) A central word-building area Responsive behavior for different screen sizes (desktop & mobile)  Where I’m stuck:I’m unsure about the cleanest Figma workflow to manage: Reusable letter components Auto Layout without breaking the boxed structure Consistent spacing while keeping the “Letter Boxed” feel intact Sometimes Auto Layout works well, but other times it messes with the symmetry of the letter boxes. What I’ve tried so far: Components + Variants for letter states Auto Layout with fixed width/height Constraints for responsiveness Looking for help with: Best practices for designing puzzle-based UIs in Figma Whether this kind of layout should rely more on manual posit

Hi! When copying an element between frames, the pasted item does not maintain its original position and shows minor coordinate discrepancies.Someone know how to fix this problem?

Hi i am totally new to website design and Figma.Want to create a logo for my website using Figma, where do I start and is their any resources like training videos available on logo design 

Hi, is there a way to change exposure levels for GIFs and video inside Figma? I know I can with still images but I can’t seem to find a way to make adjustments to GIFs/video. Are there any workarounds? And is it possible in development mode?Thanks!

Hi everyone,I’m working on designing a word-puzzle interface that’s loosely inspired by the Letter Boxed style where players connect letters around a shape to form valid words. I’m in the early design phase and would love to get your thoughts on best practices when approaching something like this in Figma.A few specific things I am thinking about: How to layout the letter groups or nodes so they feel balanced and easy to interact withTips for designing smooth interaction prototypes (e.g., drag-to-connect letters)How to visually show feedback (valid/invalid word, selection paths, etc.)Any recommended component structure or auto layout setup that makes iterating easier I’ve been using auto layout for the basic grid, but I’m not sure if there’s a better way to structure the puzzle components so they’re reusable and flexible as the design evolves.If you’ve designed interactive puzzle screens before — especially anything with touch gestures and dynamic states — I’d love to hear how you stru

Hello, I have tried several times to check my student account, but each time I get a message saying that I have exceeded my student plan limit. I have never received a response to my request...Does anyone have a solution? Thank you, have a nice day.
