Figma allegedly continues to employ the “hidden costs” deceptive pattern.

“If you accidentally upgrade someone and go over any of your seat allocations, you will now be on the hook for that seat for the rest of your contract term. You will not receive a warning about the extra charge. You cannot go back to the number of seats you signed up for in your contract. You are getting an invoice and you will be expected to pay it. […] be careful not to upgrade someone before downgrading someone else if you are near a limit.”
