### When you can import Figma design again <a href="#when-you-can-press-retry-in-rocket" id="when-you-can-press-retry-in-rocket"></a>

Use this as a simple rule of thumb:

* Any plan, View / Collab seat
  * Limit: up to 6 Tier 1 requests per month.
  * If you see this error after a few imports, you are likely out for the month.
  * Retry next month or ask your admin to move you to a Dev / Full seat.
* Starter, Dev / Full
  * Limit: up to 6 Tier 1 requests per month.
  * Same as above: you will usually need to wait for the next month or upgrade.
* Professional, Dev / Full
  * Limit: 10 requests per minute.
  * Wait at least 1 minute, then press Retry once.
* Organization, Dev / Full
  * Limit: 15 requests per minute.
  * Wait at least 1 minute, then press Retry once.
* Enterprise, Dev / Full
  * Limit: 20 requests per minute.
  * Wait at least 1 minute, then press Retry once.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Pressing **Retry** repeatedly will not bypass the limit.\
