# Figma Cost Tuning ## Overview Optimize Figma API usage costs. Figma's REST API rate limits are determined by plan tier and seat type. Reducing unnecessary requests keeps you within limits and avoids upgrading prematurely. ## Prerequisites - Working Figma integration with request logging - Understanding of your current API call volume - Access to Figma admin settings (for plan details) ## Instructions ### Step 1: Understand Plan-Based Rate Limits Figma rate limits vary by plan tier and seat type: | Plan | Seat Types | Rate Limit Tier | Variables API | |------|------------|----------------|---------------| | Starter (Free) | Free | Lowest | No | | Professional | Full, Viewer | Standard | No | | Organization | Full, Collab, Viewer | Higher | No | | Enterprise | Full, Collab, Viewer | Highest | Yes | Key facts: - Rate limits are per-user, per-minute - View and Collab seats have lower limits than Full seats - The Variables API (`/v1/files/:key/variables/*`) requires Enterprise - Endpoint tiers (1/2/3) have different quotas within each plan ### Step 2: Track API Usage ```typescript // Instrument all Figma API calls to track volume class FigmaUsageTracker { private calls: Array<{ endpoint: string; timestamp: number; cached: boolean }> = []; record(endpoint: string, cached: boolean) { this.calls.push({ endpoint, timestamp: Date.now(), cached }); } getReport(windowMs = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) { const cutoff = Date.now() - windowMs; const recent = this.calls...
