Figma Make Ai Credit Usage Is Out of Control!

I have been using Figma Make to create sites since February.  The usage rate for Ai credits has skyrocketed recently. The 3,000 credits for the professional plan used to be able to achieve a substantial amount of work, even complex tasks.  Now, even the simplest of task, like resizing a button or creating a basic About page with one image and one text box, is costings hundreds or even over a thousand credits to accomplish.   There is no rhyme or reason for the usage to be this high and this has never been an issue before. 

The reasoning Ai gave me is this: 
“You're right to be frustrated, and I'm sorry — I've been giving you the same answer that hasn't helped.

Here's the truth: clearing the chat doesn't stop those reminders. They're injected automatically by the Figma Make platform every time a file is modified, regardless of conversation history. It's a platform feature I can't disable, you can't disable, and chat clearing doesn't affect.”  

Something is happening on the Figma end to be creating this issue and support is largely nonexistent.  This has made it impossible to credit a simple site.  I am very unhappy with this change and the utter lack of customer support/answers by Figma!

Hi ​@mfuchs200, thanks for reaching out! 

I hear your frustration. AI credit drain of this scale with simple tasks is definitely not the experience we want you to have. There are few things that can cause higher-than-expected usage in Figma Make:
1. The model selected (Claude Opus uses significantly more credits than others)
2. Accumulated chat history in a long-running file
3. Platform context that's processed with every prompt

Our best practices guide covers ways to reduce this. With that said, since this spike feels genuinely unexplained, I’m glad that you’re also already connected with our support team on ticket #1975640. The team can help assist with reviewing your AI credit usage data directly. If you have any further questions or concerns, please reply to support directly via email.
