I recently used Figma Make for a very small task, and I'm genuinely concerned about how quickly AI credits are being consumed.
I used only 2 prompts, and 2,428 AI credits were deducted from my monthly allocation of 3,000 credits.
The requests were not large or complex. I only wanted to change a few icons and reuse some pre-written data from an existing HTML file. I was not generating an entire application or redesigning multiple screens. Consuming nearly the entire monthly allowance for such minor changes feels unreasonable.
Another concern is that credits are also being consumed when Figma Make encounters errors such as failed generations, connection issues, or when I have to submit additional prompts simply to fix problems that were not caused by me. Users should not lose a significant amount of credits because the system fails to complete a task successfully.
If two simple prompts can consume 2,428 credits out of a total monthly limit of 3,000, how are users expected to incorporate Figma Make into their regular workflow?
I would appreciate it if the team could:
-
Review whether this level of credit consumption is expected for such minor edits.
-
Clarify why fixing errors or retrying failed generations also consumes AI credits.
-
Consider refunding credits for prompts that fail due to technical issues or system limitations.
-
Provide a more practical and sustainable experience for Professional users who rely on Figma Make for day-to-day work.
Figma Make is an impressive tool, but the current credit consumption model makes it very difficult to use with confidence, especially when simple tasks can exhaust almost an entire month's allocation.
