Seeing an HTTP 503 or "Service Unavailable" error inside Figma Weave typically indicates that the AI processing servers are temporarily overloaded or undergoing maintenance. When traffic spikes beyond capacity, the system refuses new generation requests until server resources free up.

Quick checks

  • Check if Figma Weave is down due to an active service outage or maintenance window.
  • Confirm your account subscription status to rule out account locks via Figma Weave billing error.
  • Switch between the Figma Desktop App and the browser version to check if the error persists on both platforms.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Wait 2 to 5 minutes before re-submitting

HTTP 503 errors caused by sudden traffic spikes are usually short-lived. Avoid spamming the generate button, which can trigger temporary rate limits on your account.

  1. Force-quit and restart the app

Close Figma completely via Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (macOS). Reopening the app establishes a fresh API session with healthy server nodes.

  1. Simplify your prompt complexity

Extremely detailed or multi-page layout prompts require heavy compute capacity. If servers are operating at partial capacity, complex prompts are more likely to time out with a 503 response. If the tool keeps timing out, consult our guide for Figma Weave is not generating.

  1. Reset your local DNS cache

Outdated network routing can point your client to an inactive server cluster. Open your terminal or command prompt and run `ipconfig /flushdns` (Windows) or `sudo dscacheutil -flushcache` (macOS).

  1. Verify network socket permissions

Ensure your router or corporate network firewall is not throttling traffic on ports used for secure WebSocket communication.

Still stuck?

If 503 errors continue for more than an hour, the backend AI service is likely experiencing a wider infrastructure outage. Check official Figma status channels for system updates while server operations normalize.
