Annual subscription renewed with wrong seat count, files locked and support not responding

Hi Figma team,

I need help with a billing issue that also locked all files in our team.

Here is the timeline:

  • I had an annual subscription for our team with 4 editor seats.

  • During the year, some additional users were added and given full editor access. As a result, our team ended up with 7 editors in total.

  • When the annual renewal date came, the system tried to charge us for 7 editor seats instead of the original 4.

  • I contacted Figma support and was advised to cancel the current subscription and start a new one to fix the seat count (case 1616056).

  • I followed this advice: I cancelled the subscription and attempted to set up a new one.

  • However, before this process completed, the original subscription was automatically renewed anyway, now with 7 seats.

  • The payment for this renewed subscription failed, and as a result all files in the team were locked due to non‑payment.

  • In the billing UI, I now only see the option to pay for 7 users for a full year. There is no obvious way to reduce the number of seats for the current unpaid subscription and only pay for the 4 editors we actually need.

  • After this, I replied again to support, but I have not received any response for quite a while (case 1624111).

At this point:

  • The team’s files are locked and we cannot work.

  • The only visible option is to pay for 7 annual seats, which is more than we need and contradicts the earlier support advice.

Could someone from the Figma team please:

  1. Help adjust the current renewal to 4 editor seats instead of 7 and issue a corrected invoice, or

  2. Cancel/rollback the automatic renewal so that I can create a new subscription for 4 seats without having our files locked?

I can provide account details, team URL, invoices and screenshots privately if needed.

Thank you in advance for any help in resolving this.

Hi ​@Pavel Chelyuskin , thanks for taking the time to explain everything in details! And, I’m really sorry you’re going through this, especially with your team’s files currently locked.
Since this involves subscription adjustments, invoices, and account-specific billing details, we can’t resolve it here in the Figma Forum for security reasons. The support team needs to handle this through your existing ticket (secure channel).
I took a look on our side, and I can confirm that your support ticket is still open and with the right team. I’ve gone ahead and escalated it internally so they can prioritize reviewing your case.

Thank you again for your patience, I know how urgent this is for your workflow, and the support team will be back to you as soon as they complete their review! (For reference, your case number is 1616056).

 

Update: Great news! I see that the support team was able to adjust your seat and billing. I’ve gone ahead and closed the topic here.
If you need further assistance, feel free to reply directly to your ticket, it will re-open automatically and our team will be able to help you. Thank you
