Plugin stuck in review for 3+ weeks (no network / low-risk plugin) is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to check if anyone has experienced a similar situation with plugin review timelines.

I submitted my plugin (IconNova) on March 27, and it has now been in review for over 3 weeks.

Details:
- No backend
- No network access
- All processing is local inside Figma
- Data security disclosure completed (shows “follows Figma’s security best practices”)
- No warnings or issues shown (status is only “In review”)

I did publish a couple of minor updates (rename + description changes), with the last update on April 5, but nothing affecting functionality.

From what I understand:
- Typical review time is 5–10 business days
- Even with re-review, this timeline seems longer than expected

So I’m trying to understand:
- Is this kind of delay normal recently?
- Could this be related to queue backlog?
- Or is there something else I might be missing?

Would really appreciate any insights from others who went through the same process.

Thanks!

Hey ​@Muhammad_Mousa, thanks for sharing all that detail and I can see you’ve done everything right on your end. 

You’re correct that typical review times are often around 5–10 business days, but delays like this can happen when there’s a higher-than-usual backlog. From what I can see, your plugin is still in the review queue, and nothing you mentioned (like minor metadata updates) should be causing a reset or issue with the review.

That said, I completely understand why this feels longer than expected. I’ve flagged your submission internally and shared your follow-up so it’s on the team’s radar. They’ll reach out as soon as there’s an update, whether that’s an approval or feedback. 

Really appreciate your patience in the meantime!
