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

I've been experimenting with the new Figma Make feature and noticed a recurring issue that's affecting usability:

  • After about 8–10 successful prompts (each 1–2 lines long), Figma Make starts rejecting any further prompt with the message:

    "Try again, with fewer inputs."

  • This happens even when the prompts are extremely short, e.g., "Create a dark-themed button component" or "Add a CTA section with three buttons."

  • I’ve tested this across multiple projects and browsers. The issue persists consistently, and the only workaround seems to be refreshing the tab, which sometimes helps temporarily — but not always.

Additional Context:

  • Even though Figma Make is currently laggy while generating prototypes (which I can overlook), this input rejection bug makes it difficult to iterate quickly or finish design ideas.

  • It feels like a silent rate-limit or session exhaustion issue that’s not clearly communicated to the user.

​@Tom Reem Hello figmate!
I didn’t use figma make before and this is the first time using it. I copy paste a frame from my design with a prompy, but I’m getting the error “Try again, with fewer inputs”. Is it the same problem or it’s from something else?

 

Thank you!

Will Figma solve this problem, or at least provide a more meaningful error message ?

Hi there! I got a similar response in Design when trying to send a frame to Make, after clicking the option ‘Send to Figma Make’ — just right-click on any design frame, and you’ll find the option at the top.

After reducing the number of layers, detaching components, and cleaning the file a lot (I only kept a sidebar and a couple of analytics components), the system kept prompting the same error. I even tried sending just one component, and it still didn’t work.

Hope this helps, and that someone at Figma sees this.

Thanks!!
