100-word summary
Figma will begin enforcing monthly credit limits on AI features March 18, blocking users who exceed their allowance unless teams buy add-on packs. Professional seats get 3,000 credits per month; Enterprise users get 4,250. Credits expire and can't roll over. To keep designing, teams can buy subscription packs starting at $120 for 5,000 extra credits, or wait for pay-as-you-go billing in Q2 2026 at roughly three cents per credit. Admins can also pool credits across the org. The shift turns Figma's AI tools from an open tap into a metered utility, forcing design leads to budget generative features the same way they budget Photoshop licenses.
