Critical Block: "Verification Limit Exceeded" Error Despite Successful SheerID Verification (Twice Verified Student)

Hello Figma Community and Support Team,

 

I am an eligible student who has been blocked from accessing the Figma Education plan due to a critical "Verification Limit Exceeded" error from SheerID. I am urgently seeking assistance as my access has been locked for over a week, and I am stuck in a loop between Figma and SheerID support.

 

My Situation and Evidence:

  1. Undisputed Eligibility: I was successfully verified twice previously:
    • Once with the old Figma system (early 2025).
    • Once successfully with SheerID in September 2025. I have attached evidence of this successful SheerID verification in my communication with the support team.
  2. The Cause of the Block: A necessary email change on my Figma account triggered an immediate re-verification request that failed due to the "Verification Limit Exceeded" error, locking my account.
  3. Support Deadlock:
    • Figma refers me to SheerID for a limit reset.
    • SheerID refers me to Figma regarding email policy and auto-responds with a 4-7 day response time, which has passed with no substantive action.

The Core Administrative Error:

  • SheerID’s system has an incorrect domain record for my institution (it lists the staff/management domain, not the student one).
  • Due to institutional constraints in India, a student-specific email is not provided, making the expected verification path impossible.
  • The limit exceeded error prevents me from manually uploading my documents (Fee Receipt, Student ID, etc.) for a manual review.

My Urgent Request for Community/Staff Help:

 

I am an eligible student locked out by an administrative error. I need internal coordination between Figma and SheerID to manually resolve this.

 

I urgently request that a Figma staff member or SheerID moderator:

  1. Manually reset the verification limits tied to my personal information.
  2. Provide a secure, alternative mechanism for me to submit my official enrollment documents for a manual override and re-approval.

Please help me bypass this automated failure so I can resume my academic work. Thank you for any assistance!

 

Sincerely,

 

Pritam Anil Yadav

Hey  ​@pritamay , thanks for your patience. The team has followed up with you by email, please check your inbox when you have a moment.

In short: our verification records show there’s a specific university email domain associated with successful student verifications for your school. Figma can’t manually approve education status (all domain eligibility is set by SheerID.) The team reset your access so you can apply again, but you’ll need to use the same email domain other verified students at your university are using.

Please check your inbox and reply there if you need any clarification, as the Figma Education team is best equipped to help further. I’ll go ahead and close the topic here, thanks for your understanding!
