Hi, I just want to share a concern.
Recently I came across the message of the Figma Make monthly limit, which I would have crossed (when it’s going to be implemented).
I just want to mention that the limits are waaaaaay to low. Especially, prompting with AI requires a back and forth of conversation usually because 1) it’s better to ask 1 thing at a time instead of a bunch of things, 2) with 1 things fixed, it can break something else, and so another prompt is required to fix what the AI has broken.
This way, creating a decent prototype to test some UX patterns can exceed the limit in just a day or few hours of prompting. Which is kind of not what we want as we might need it practically every week, multiple days.
So increase the limit by a ten fold (10x) would be a more acceptable limit. Also, I would love to just pay a bit more every month to just have unlimited prompts. Imposing those current very small limits will not help us at all, it might rather push us towards other AI prompting tools instead.
So, please, I hope Figma & the community is reading this and agree that the current limit that will be imposed later this year (2025) is just to low for serious users.
Upcoming Figma Make monthly limit
I agree with this - I am using this to make complex prototypes that are difficult to explain to my engineers with the standard prototypes. It has some animations, and it’s a 12 question quiz flow. This is impossible to do in the upcoming limits, especially when Figma Make isn’t great at tackling edits in a list format (or when it says it fixed the issue, but it, in fact, did NOT fix the issue, AND it also decided to edit something entirely unrelated). I do not understand where they got these numbers from, but it’s not realistic, and it’s just going to cause enterprises to start opting for other tools.
I really hope the figma team considers increasing the limits, because I love the potential this tool has.
I'm a Full Seat on an Enterprise license, working at a company that builds highly complex and refined software. I think Figma Make is a fantastic tool, but I agree with Oliver—its monthly prompt limits are unreasonably low.
While I understand enforcement of these limits isn’t happening until later this year, I’m already receiving warnings. On the projects I’m working on, I regularly hit the 80–100 prompt limit daily—and that’s during a standard 8-hour workday, working exclusively in Figma. I don’t know what pricing they'll set for “Power Users,” but the baseline credit offering needs to be significantly increased. Otherwise, I’ll be out of prompts by the first day of every month. This limit absolutely needs to be raised.
Additionally, if Figma is going to track prompt usage, they should account for wasted prompts when the system doesn’t behave as expected. I routinely burn 20–30 prompts per project just trying to get something like OCR to work. The thread might say “It should work perfectly now!”—but then it doesn’t. When I’m troubleshooting and the system fails to deliver, I’m forced to re-prompt and test repeatedly, which drains credits fast. In many cases, I’ve had to start over or take a completely different approach. In my opinion, if I click the thumbs-down and reframe my question, that should credit me back a prompt—it’s a clear signal the system didn’t perform correctly.
You can also burn through credits just confirming requests or fixing errors the system itself flagged. If I’ve already asked for something, why do I need to confirm it again with another prompt? The answer is always “Yes, proceed”—so these confirmations feel redundant and wasteful.
As a product person, I suspect Figma is still gauging real-world usage to determine appropriate tiers and limits. The fact that they’re not enforcing limits yet suggests they’re still calibrating. I just hope they take feedback seriously and adjust accordingly. For my workflow, a monthly limit of 2,500–3,000 prompts would be much more realistic.
Figma, I hope you’re listening!
Just sharing my thoughts as well. I’m using Make through Figma Education, and since Edu is basically Pro, I think there are no credits to extend Make prompts. Either way, while Figma figures out a proper way to control limits/usage, it would be a QoL feature to choose or toggle daily/weekly/monthly warnings/limits.
On my last project, it was very disappointing to suddenly receive the message that I’d have to wait until the next month to continue building.
Most, if not all, vibe-coding/orchestrator tools provide a clear visual indication of credits usage. This helps with planning ahead and, well… Visibility of the System Status right?☝️🤓.
