Issue Summary:
Figma Make has been completely broken in one specific file for 48+ hours. Every prompt returns "Something went wrong" error. The issue is NOT related to AI credit limits - I have 3,000 credits available.

File Details:

  • File: Design System for Academy (Copy)

  • Current version: Version 5

  • Account type: Paid plan with full seat

Error Details:

  • Error message: "Something went wrong. Try again"

  • Request IDs:

    • a216f838-6ece-460d-8f17-95963978a108

    • c7b07ae6-1ce5-4ec4-84f0-8217037ff1b1

  • Duration: 48+ hours

  • AI Credits available: 3,000 (clearly visible in UI)

What I've Already Tried:

  • Refreshing the page multiple times

  • Waiting between attempts (1-2 minutes, up to several hours)

  • Different types of prompts (simple and complex)

  • Checking internet connection and VPN

  • Restoring previous versions (tried Version 4)

Important Discovery:
Make works perfectly in:

  • FREE accounts (same prompts, same network)

  • NEW Make files in my paid account

This suggests the issue is file-specific corruption, not account or network related.

Suspected Cause:
The file has gone through multiple iterations (Version 5) with intensive prompting. This may have caused file corruption or history issues similar to cases reported here: forum.figma.com/report-a-problem-6/figma-make-persistent-error-43700

Request:
Could the Figma team please investigate this file-specific issue? I'm happy to provide support-share@figma.com with "can edit" access if needed.

Has anyone else experienced persistent Make errors in specific files that resolved after 24-48 hours or by creating a fresh copy?

Thank you!
