你好

我写这封信是为了正式投诉 Figma 目前的席位分配和计费系统。这种体验完全无法接受,给我们的团队带来了非常糟糕的管理和用户体验。

我们的团队已经购买了 6 个年度席位。今年 6 月,我们正式从团队中移除了一名成员,从而空出了一个年度席位。

然而,今天(7 月 1 日),当我添加一名新成员并打算使用我们已经付费的年度席位时,系统在没有任何明确警告或确认的情况下,自动将该用户分配到一个额外的付费月度席位。

更不合理的是,系统自动指定另一名成员占据年度席位,导致管理员无法清楚地了解实际的席位分配情况。

我是在手动仔细检查管理面板后才发现这个问题的。

我一发现问题,就立即:

  • 移除错误分配的年度席位用户;
  • 已将原定成员重新分配至年度席位。

然而,即使立即纠正了问题,系统仍然产生了额外的计费费用。

这完全不合理,绝对不可接受。

我们已经支付了足够的年度席位费用,但系统仍然通过极其不透明的分配流程产生额外费用。这种机制对管理员来说极具误导性,并且很容易导致意外收费。

我必须明确指出以下问题:

  1. 该系统未能清晰显示年度席位的实际分配情况;
  2. 系统无需明确确认即可自动创建额外的付费月席位;
  3. 即使管理员立即纠正了错误,账单费用也不会自动取消;
  4. 这种逻辑实际上通过令人困惑的座位管理机制,助长了意外的额外收费。

作为一名长期付费客户,我对这次体验感到非常失望。

我请求 Figma:

  • 立即取消错误的月度座位费用;
  • 对这笔不合理的账单进行退款;
  • 请对当前的座位分配逻辑做出清晰的解释;
  • 尽快修复计费和座位管理方面的问题;
  • 防止其他用户将来遇到类似的意外费用。

我希望尽快得到明确的答复和解决方案。

Hey ​@梁海欣, thanks for reaching out and for laying out the details so clearly! 

Just a heads-up, we don't support Chinese on the forum yet, so I'll continue in English, let me know if anything's unclear and I'm happy to clarify.

For security and privacy reasons, we're not able to look into billing or account-specific details here on the forum. That said, I can see you've already been in touch with our support team (Ticket #1991568), so the right people already have visibility into your case and should be following up with you shortly to take a closer look at the seat assignment and any related charges.

 

In the meantime, this Help Center article walks through why extra charges can show up when a new seat is added mid-cycle on an annual plan, which sounds relevant to what you're describing: There are additional charges in my Figma bill.

 

Thank you for your patience while this gets sorted out!

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and for confirming that the support team is already reviewing my case.

However, I would like to clarify that my concern is not simply about “additional charges when adding seats mid-cycle.”

The issue is that our organization already had an available annual seat, because one member had already been removed previously. Despite this, when adding a new member, the system automatically assigned them to a separately charged monthly seat instead of clearly using the existing annual seat.

More importantly, the seat allocation behavior was not transparent at all:

  • The system automatically reassigned annual seat ownership without clear notice;
  • The admin panel did not clearly indicate which user was consuming which type of seat;
  • Even after I immediately corrected the seat assignment, the pending charge still remained active.

From an administrator perspective, this creates a very misleading billing experience and makes it extremely easy to trigger unintended charges.

I fully understand prorated or mid-cycle charges when additional seats are intentionally purchased. However, in this case, we were attempting to reuse an already paid annual seat, not purchase a new one.

I would appreciate it if the support team could specifically review:

  • Whether the annual seat was actually available at the time;
  • Why the system automatically created a paid monthly seat instead;
  • Why the charge still remains after immediate correction;
  • Whether this pending charge can be removed or refunded.

Thank you again, and I look forward to the support team’s response.

Hi, ​@梁海欣, stepping in for ​@Gayani_S. I can understand your confusion and frustration that this ended up causing some unexpected charges for you, particularly when you intended to re-use an existing seat and not add an additional one. 

 

I flagged your request to the team and also provided them a link to this forum post, that way they have the most complete view of your questions and concerns. You should hear back soon - thank you for your patience!

 

While our support team works on your request to resolve the billing issue and answer your questions, I also want to point you to our help article on managing billing on the Professional plan. It goes more in depth on how seat allotment and management works and what that means for your billing - it will help you avoid any unexpected charges in the future.
