Hello Figma Support Team,

I am facing an urgent issue with my account.

Since yesterday, I am continuously getting this error while trying to create a new file:
“XHR for '/api/files/create' failed with status 429”

Because of this, I am completely unable to create any new files in Figma (including Drafts). I have already tried:

  • Logging out and logging in again

  • Clearing browser cache

  • Trying without plugins

The issue still persists, and it is blocking my work urgently.

Could you please check if my account is under any rate limit or restriction and help resolve this as soon as possible?

This is time-critical for my work, so I would really appreciate a quick resolution.
