    Figma waives code layers AI credits on paid plans until November 4

    Figma says creating and editing code layers in its new open beta uses AI credits, but those actions are free on paid plans through November 4, 2026. The open beta itself is available across plans. Figma has not announced the later credit rate in this source, so the promotion should not be described as permanent free access.
