figma weave 502 bad gateway status

Seeing a 502 Bad Gateway error while attempting to generate UI components with Figma Weave indicates a communication breakdown between upstream server proxies and backend AI processing nodes. When edge servers fail to receive a valid response from the generation engine, the canvas throws an unhandled gateway response. As an independent troubleshooting resource, Figma Weave Support provides clear steps to verify whether this status error stems from regional server gateway routing or account configuration glitches.

Quick checks

• Refresh your Figma file tab or restart the desktop app to reset active gateway handles.
• Check if the 502 Bad Gateway error occurs on all canvas files or just a specific team file.
• Confirm that your internet service provider or corporate proxy is not terminating lingering HTTP/2 connections.

1. Isolate gateway routing issues: A 502 Bad Gateway status typically surfaces during cloud server deployments or sudden traffic spikes. Verify whether Figma Weave is down globally or experiencing localized proxy node failures that prevent incoming prompt requests from reaching downstream model instances.
2. Clear cached session tokens: Stale authorization tokens can trigger bad gateway responses when edge routers attempt to validate workspace permissions. Log out of your Figma account, clear your web browser or desktop app cache, and sign back in to issue fresh session headers.
3. Verify account access and UI extension status: In some cases, gateway errors occur when the Weave UI widget fails to load proper UI bindings. If the extension controls vanish entirely after experiencing a gateway crash, check if Figma Weave is missing from the Figma editor to re-enable required canvas plugins.
4. Check for account credit sync conflicts: Infrequently, automated server maintenance during billing updates can temporarily disrupt gateway authentication for individual user accounts. If bad gateway responses coincide with subscription changes or token top-ups, review Figma Weave billing, credits or payment error solutions to resolve potential account sync locks.

Still stuck?

Bad Gateway status codes are almost always server-side occurrences that resolve automatically once gateway proxies successfully re-establish connections with AI backend nodes. If 502 errors persist for several hours, try working in an offline draft mode or test your prompts in a clean, non-team file until server edge routers stabilize.
