I’m opening this ticket because the Figma AI feature for renaming layers is not working. The issue has been happening for at least one week. When I click on the feature, a loader appears, and after a few moments the following error message is displayed: “Something went wrong. Please try again.”

  1. Platform and version: I’m on macOS 26.5 using the Figma Desktop App version 126.3.12 but happen also on Safari and Chrome.
  2. Scope: This happen across all files.
  3. Restart: I’ve tried restarting the App, the Mac, turned off iCloud Private Relay and Tailscale VPN. Nothing changed.
  4. Timeline: at least one week.
  5. Error messages: “Something went wrong. Please try again.”

 

I also checked the inspector with cmd+option+i and noticed the following error in the console:

POST https://www.figma.com/api/cortex/design/editor_ai/rename_layers 403 (Forbidden)

 

Could you please look into this?

Based on the information you shared, including the 403 (Forbidden) response from the editor_ai/rename_layers endpoint, this appears to be related to authorization or backend access rather than a local application issue, especially since:

  • the issue occurs across all files,
  • it reproduces in both the Desktop App and browsers,
  • and standard troubleshooting steps did not resolve it.
