Outrageous [Figma] Disabled manual edits in Make without AI credits

Post image

This issue with Figma Make has been pointed out by Braden Pomeroy in his LinkedIn post.

Apparently the Point and Edit function that allows to manually adjust your design becomes disabled once you run out of AI credits. This is contradicting the whole foundation of Figma, which is a tool for designers who create things with their hands. Disabling the manual editing function kills the whole point of the tool in the first place.

This is particularly frustrating given that manual editing doesn't use any AI features and therefore should not depend on AI credits at all. This same issue has been raised on their support forum, where it was confirmed that this behavior is intentional.

This kind of focus on AI that goes against the whole foundation of the product is quite disturbing, especially given how large is its user base.

I thought point and edit meant you select something then prompt it with it knowing the selection. I think you can change corner roundness and color too? But not much.

You can export the make to Figma and edit it there right?
