Figma for Education - Verification Limit Exceeded, Already Reached Out to SheerID

Upon opening Figma, it told me that I was not able to have more than 1 project as I was on the Starter plan. I tried to verify and the website told me that I had exceeded my verification limit. However, I am a student, and have ALREADY verified my status as a student according to SheerID, on September 18th, 2025, so it remains that this is a Figma side issue.

Please let me know how I can remedy this ASAP. I am in an internship that requires me to work in Figma, so this is a bit time-sensitive, and I would rather not delete my one existing project to make room for this current one I am trying to create.

Hi ​@mcballete, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

Sorry for the trouble you’re running into with verification — I understand how time-sensitive this is for your internship.

I’ve flagged this with our Education Support team and I’ll follow up here as soon as I have any updates.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime, we’ll work to get this sorted as quickly as possible.
