why is figma weave unresponsive today

If Figma Weave stops responding to prompts or leaves your interface frozen today, you are likely dealing with a backend cloud bottleneck or a localized socket disconnect. Figma Weave relies on continuous real-time communication between your local canvas and cloud rendering engines, so even brief server disruptions can cause the tool to hang.

Figma Weave Support is an independent troubleshooting resource not affiliated with Figma. Use this guide to determine whether today's unresponsiveness is caused by global server downtime or a issue on your device.

Quick checks

• First, verify if Figma Weave is down across all cloud regions to confirm a widespread outage.
• Test your local connection by loading an external web page to ensure your network is stable.
• Confirm that Figma is not running in restricted offline mode, which disables AI features.

Troubleshooting steps

1. Reload your browser or desktop tab

If the Figma Weave panel stops taking inputs, press `Cmd + R` (macOS) or `Ctrl + R` (Windows) inside the desktop app or browser to refresh your session without closing your project.

1. Clear cached application data

Stale app data can block incoming WebSocket streams from Figma Weave servers. On the desktop app, navigate to Help > Troubleshooting > Clear Cache and Restart. If you are using a web browser, clear site cache for figma.com.

1. Test in a brand-new file

Complex Figma files with thousands of vectors can freeze the layout engine during AI generation. Create a blank draft and launch Figma Weave there. If your prompt stalls again, read our full checklist for when Figma Weave is not generating.

1. Toggle off corporate VPNs or proxies

Strict security filters and VPNs frequently block long-polling HTTP requests used by AI design engines. Temporarily disconnect your VPN or switch to a mobile hotspot to see if responsiveness returns.

1. Check for browser extension interference

Adblockers or privacy scripts can block Figma's background API calls. Open Figma in an Incognito/Private window to test if an extension is causing the delay.

Still stuck?

If Figma Weave remains completely unresponsive after trying these steps, the service may be undergoing unscheduled server maintenance. You can check if the core plugin UI has disappeared entirely in our guide for Figma Weave missing in Figma. Otherwise, allow 15 to 30 minutes for cloud servers to recover before retrying your prompt.
