After updating to macOS Tahoe and the latest Figma update, my laptop's processor started to overheat. I don't work with large files but the situation is critical for the laptop's processor. MacBook Pro M1

The same here – fresh Figma update, Tahoe macOS on an M1 Max MacBook Pro. Now Figma thinks it’s 3D software rendering the Big Bang in 24K while mining Bitcoin.

Same here… Macbook Pro M1 Max, it’s melting. I never used to hear the fans, but now it’s too hot to even keep my hands on it for more than 5 minutes. As soon as I close Figma, the issue is gone.


Hey ​@Diogo Costa - have you also recently updated to Tahoe?

If so, can you file a support ticket with the instructions Céline mentioned above? We’ve got a team actively monitoring and reviewing reports related to the OS update, so that would be super helpful.


Yes ​@ksn. I updated to Tahoe and started experiencing this. I’m at a point where I need to use an external keyboard and trackpad to work in Figma... Once I close the app, all the heating disappears in about 5 minutes. Never had anything like this.


Got it - can you try reinstalling the app from this direct link, and letting me know if performance gets better? https://desktop.figma.com/mac/build/FigmaInstaller-125.8.9.dmg
