Bug: Figma Make shows "Try again with fewer inputs" even for short prompts after a few successful ones

Hey everyone, thanks so much for flagging this! 

I’ve passed these reports along to our engineering team, who are actively investigating the issue. I’ll keep you updated as soon as I hear more from the team. Really appreciate your patience in the meantime! 

Thanks alot. Eagerly waiting for an update. My project progress is paused because of this, kindly push this for priority

Hey ​@Imtiyaz_Ahmed, thanks for the tag and sorry for the trouble. I’m merging your post into this thread so we can track all related reports in one place. Also, I checked in a few moments ago, and our engineering team continues to actively investigate. Appreciate you for bearing with us while we work on this — we’ll follow up with everyone as soon as there’s news. 🙏🏻

Hey ​@Tom Reem  Appreciate you always being active here mate. And yes, waiting for this to be resolved. One of my high priority projects is on halt because of this. 

I have the same problem like you. It happens after 20 prompts. Does anyone know when the problem will be fixed? Thank you.

Have the same problem, had a little luck rolling back two versions and asking it to clear cache but then hit the wall again. 

We're currently experiencing a blocking issue while working in Figma Make with Claude AI integration.

Whenever we attempt to submit a prompt with moderate complexity (even just a sentence with multiple intentions), we consistently receive the following error:

"Try again, with fewer inputs"

This occurs:

• Even with short prompts (under 500 characters)

• On both new and restored versions of the file

• After clearing cache, restarting browser, and disabling extensions

In the dev console, the following error also appears:

pgsql

CopyEdit

/api/cortex/shared/figmake:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 413 ()

We suspect that Claude's input buffer or Figma Make's internal API is rejecting or rate-limiting due to malformed payload sizing or context overflow — despite the inputs being well within normal usage.

What we need:

• Either increased input tolerance, or

• A clearer system for breaking long prompts into chunks without losing prior context

• Or a way to reset Claude/Makes’s prompt memory per file (currently not exposed)

Reproduction Steps:

1. Open a Figma Make AI project

2. Add a Claude AI prompt with 3–4 action points (e.g., update component, adjust layout, group elements)

3. Submit → ❌ Error message appears: "Try again, with fewer inputs"

This is blocking our ability to build and deploy components via Make’s AI automation. Please let us know if a fix or workaround is available, or if this is a known issue in the current release.

Hi there,

Our engineering team has released a fix for this issue. Please refresh your tab and try again.

Thanks,

Hi ​@Junko3 ，

This doesn't seem to work for me...In fact, when I use V0 by vercel, if the current conversation is too long, I can copy the code to a new window to start a new conversation. I want to know if figma has the same function?

This still doesn’t work for me. Shows the same error.
