Why is Figma Make AI Consuming AI Credits So Quickly? Request for Explanation and Credit Usage Transparency

I recently subscribed to the Figma Professional plan, primarily to use Figma Make AI. As part of my subscription, I received 3,000 AI credits.

However, I am extremely confused and disappointed by how quickly these credits are being consumed.

Here is what happened:

  • I created only 6 design pages using Figma Make.

  • Those 6 pages consumed all 3,000 AI credits that came with my Professional subscription.

  • Assuming I may have simply run out of credits, I purchased an additional 1,000 AI credits.

  • Surprisingly, after submitting just a single prompt, the entire 1,000 credits were consumed immediately.

This behavior seems unreasonable and makes it very difficult to understand the actual cost of using Figma Make.

I would appreciate answers to the following questions:

  1. Why did a single prompt consume all 1,000 AI credits?

  2. How are AI credits calculated for Figma Make?

  3. Is the number of credits based on prompt length, generated components, iterations, or some other factor?

  4. Is there a detailed credit usage log available that shows exactly how many credits each prompt consumes?

  5. Were my credits consumed correctly, or could there be a billing or usage issue with my account?

  6. Are there any known issues related to excessive AI credit consumption?

At the moment, the AI credit system feels unpredictable because there is no clear indication of how many credits a prompt will use before it is executed. Without transparency, it is impossible to estimate or manage AI usage effectively.

I kindly request that your team:

  • Review my account's AI credit usage history.

  • Explain why my credits were depleted so rapidly.

  • Confirm whether the usage is expected or if there has been an error.

  • Consider restoring any credits if the consumption was caused by a bug or unexpected behavior.

I subscribed to the Professional plan expecting to use Figma Make for my design workflow, but the current AI credit consumption makes the feature impractical. I look forward to your explanation and assistance.

Thank you.
