I am encountering rate limits extremely quickly when using the Figma Images API.
Even when downloading approximately 10 images, I consistently receive HTTP 429 responses with very large Retry-After values (around 400,000 seconds).
The images are being exported from the following Figma file:
https://www.figma.com/design/MgNkAQkNBETXwipSe024oc/
Details:
- Endpoint: /v1/images/MgNkAQkNBETXwipSe024oc
- Authentication: Personal Access Token
- Requests are executed sequentially (no parallel requests)
- Request rate is very low (2 request per second)
- Requests are executed via C# using the Unity game engine
Additional response details:
- Response body: {"status":429,"err":"Rate limit exceeded"}
- Retry-After: 397777 seconds
- Response header includes: X-Cache: Error from cloudfront
Due to this behavior, it is currently impossible for me to use the API for asset export.
Could you please check whether this file, my account, or my IP address is being throttled at the CloudFront level, or if there is an additional rate limit being applied?
