Unable to publish figma make - suspecting timeout in publishing

I have successfully published my Figma Make before, but I went bananas and created a whole app in figma make. After 400 iterations, my project size is probably pretty large. Whenever I try to publish, it thinks for a long while before its saying that it has failed. I’ve also tried to look through other threads here to see what the common issues are but to no avail. 

To some extent ive tried to optimize the files using prompts, but sometimes it just destroys my app completely and I have to revert. 

Any ideas?

If you are seeing something like this close to the publish button ‘Update attempt was unsuccessful’ then you are not alone. It keeps failing to publish. I started experiencing this since yesterday. That’s why I came here to look for a solution, but it seems it’s general for now.

Yeah “Publish attempt was unsuccessful”. Very annoying as I got half a working prototype now that I am not able to fully demo or use for user testing. Any news that Figma knows that this is an issue?
