Gemini 3 Pro with Nano Banana — “model currently overloaded” in most generation attempts

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a persistent issue when trying to use Gemini 3 Pro with Nano Banana in Figma AI.

In about 90% of my attempts to generate or regenerate an image, I receive the message:
“model currently overloaded, try again later.”

This started roughly a week ago, and since then the model has become almost unusable for me — most requests fail with this error. Retrying multiple times usually doesn’t help. Other models work correctly, иut the result, of course, is not as good.

    Hi ​@Web-designer CS, thanks for following up about this issue! 

    I flagged this over to our AI team, and they confirmed that failing image generation attempts do not deduct credits. They’re now taking a closer look at your account to investigate what’s happening, since deducting credits for failed attempts is unexpected behavior.

    I have the exact same issue. Figma needs to fix this. We are paying customers, and when you offer a service, and we PAY for it, we expect it to work. its 2026. This is not OK.

    I have been using Figma for over 4 Years now.

    I started to be a paying customer and AI features are one of my fundementals, for basic icon and other things. Obviously they cant do anything complex. But for the past 2 months

    Any reasonable model I pick is  currently overloaded ERROR with any day and time of the day.

    This is NOT OK. You are a billions dollars worth design software company and you cant have this for too long. 

    People. Dont be OK with this. 

    I demand all the credits and time wasted getting this error back, and expect things to work normal.

    Hi ​@Gokhan Uzmez, thanks for chiming in here!
     

    I hear how frustrating this has been, especially as a long-time user relying on these features. You’re absolutely right to expect reliability from paid features and repeated “model overloaded” errors aren’t the experience we want you to have. The team is actively working on improving capacity and overall stability.
     

    To clarify, failed generation attempts (including “model overloaded” errors) do not consume credits. Credits are only used once a generation successfully completes, even if there were retries beforehand.

    That said, I understand the bigger concern here is consistency. If you’re still running into this frequently across different times of day or models, that’s really helpful for the team. If you’re open to sharing a bit more detail (like which models you’re using and when you’re seeing this), I can make sure it gets passed along.
     

    We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback and for sticking with Figma.
