Midjourney billing history – How to Fix

Your Midjourney billing history is accessible at midjourney.com/account under the Billing section — each subscription charge and any additional Fast hour purchases appear there with dates and amounts. If a charge appears on your bank statement but not in Midjourney's history, the payment likely failed mid-processing and will reverse within 3 to 5 business days.

Midjourney billing plan – How to Fix

Midjourney offers 4 billing plans: Basic ($10/mo, ~200 images), Standard ($30/mo, 15 Fast GPU hours + unlimited Relax), Pro ($60/mo, 30 Fast GPU hours + 12 concurrent jobs), and Mega ($120/mo, 60 Fast GPU hours). Manage your plan at midjourney.com/account — changes take effect immediately or at the next billing cycle depending on whether you upgrade or downgrade.

How to change Midjourney plan (upgrade/downgrade) without losing access?

Midjourney offers 4 plans: Basic ($10/mo, 200 images), Standard ($30/mo, unlimited relaxed + 15 GPU hrs fast), Pro ($60/mo, 30 GPU hrs fast), and Mega ($120/mo, 60 GPU hrs fast). To change your plan, go to midjourney.com → Manage Subscription, and select Upgrade or Downgrade. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated credit; downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle, so you will not lose access mid-cycle.

Midjourney billing support – How to Fix

Contact Midjourney billing support through docs.midjourney.com (submit a request) or the #billing-support channel in the official Midjourney Discord server — have your registered email address, transaction ID from your Stripe receipt, and a description of the issue ready. Most billing issues resolve within 1 to 3 business days.

How to fix Midjourney bot missing from my Discord channel?

The Midjourney bot disappears from a Discord channel most often because the bot was not explicitly added to that channel, channel permissions do not allow the bot to see or post there, or the bot was accidentally kicked from the server. To fix it, go to your Discord server settings, check the Midjourney Bot's role permissions, and if needed, re-invite the bot via the official Midjourney website.

Midjourney can't log in – How to Fix

Over 90% of Midjourney login failures are caused by browser issues, expired sessions, or OAuth token errors — clear your cookies for midjourney.com, open an incognito window, and try logging in again. If you use Google or Discord to sign in, revoke and re-authorize the connection. Check status.midjourney.com for any active outages before spending time troubleshooting locally.

How to fix Midjourney content moderation blocks and rephrase prompts?

Midjourney's automated content moderation uses a keyword and context filter that blocks prompts containing terms related to violence, nudity, or specific real-world figures — removing or rephrasing just the flagged term usually unblocks the generation. Midjourney's filter is not perfect and sometimes flags benign words; try rephrasing with synonyms, adding descriptive art-style context, or breaking complex prompts into simpler components.

Midjourney creation failed internal server error – How to Fix

Midjourney's 'creation failed: internal server error' means the job failed on Midjourney's GPU servers — this error occurs on the server side, not your device. Wait 2 to 5 minutes and retry your prompt, check status.midjourney.com for outages, and simplify your prompt if failures persist. Most internal server errors resolve within a single retry.

Midjourney error failed to download image – How to Fix

The 'failed to download image' error in Midjourney occurs when the generated image cannot be delivered from Midjourney's CDN to your client — refresh the page and click the image again, try right-clicking and selecting 'Open image in new tab,' or use the web gallery at midjourney.com to access the generated image directly.

Midjourney error loading image – How to Fix

Midjourney's 'error loading image' typically means a reference image URL is invalid, blocked, or too large — use a direct image URL (ending in .jpg, .png, or .webp) rather than a webpage URL, ensure the image is publicly accessible without login, and keep uploaded reference images under 25MB. If the error appears on a generated image, refresh and try again.

Midjourney error your unique trace – How to Fix

The 'your unique trace' error in Midjourney is a job tracking identifier included in error messages to help support diagnose failures — copy the trace ID from the error message, note the time it occurred, then retry your prompt. If the error repeats, submit the trace ID to Midjourney support at docs.midjourney.com so they can investigate the server-side failure.

How to report a Midjourney bug effectively (what to include)?

Midjourney bug reports submitted through their official channels (Discord #bug-reports channel or docs.midjourney.com support) are most effective when they include: the exact error message or behavior, the full prompt used, your plan tier (Basic/Standard/Pro/Mega), the specific channel or interface (Discord vs. web), timestamps, and screenshots or screen recordings. Reports without reproduction steps are rarely actionable.

How to fix Midjourney Fast/Relax mode not working as expected?

Midjourney Fast mode uses your monthly GPU hours (15 hrs on Standard, 30 hrs on Pro, 60 hrs on Mega) and stops being available when those hours run out; Relax mode is unlimited but only available on Standard and higher plans. If Fast mode is not working, check your remaining GPU hours with the /info command in Discord. If Relax mode is unavailable, you may be on the Basic plan ($10/mo), which does not include Relax mode.

How to fix Midjourney daily/hourly limit reached (what to do next)?

Midjourney limits are monthly, not daily — the Basic plan gives 200 image generations per month, Standard gives 15 fast GPU hours plus unlimited Relax mode, Pro gives 30 fast GPU hours, and Mega gives 60 fast GPU hours. If you hit the limit, you can switch to Relax mode (Standard and above), buy additional fast GPU hours (~$4/hr) in the Manage Subscription portal, or wait until your next billing cycle. Use /info in Discord to check your exact remaining balance.

How to avoid Midjourney temporary restrictions (suspicious activity flags)?

Midjourney temporary restrictions are triggered by behaviors that resemble automated abuse: submitting dozens of jobs in rapid succession, repeatedly attempting blocked content, logging in from multiple unusual IP addresses, or making excessive API calls. Restrictions typically last 24 to 72 hours and lift automatically. To avoid them, pace your generations, use one stable network connection, and avoid retrying content-moderation-blocked prompts more than 2-3 times.

Midjourney login not working on desktop app?

Midjourney desktop app login failures are most often caused by a corrupted local app cache, an outdated app version, or an expired Discord OAuth token — update the app to the latest version, clear the app's cache folder, and sign out then back in. If the desktop app continues to fail, use the web interface at midjourney.com or access Midjourney through the Discord desktop app as a working alternative.

Midjourney login not working on mobile (iOS/Android)?

Midjourney mobile login failures on iOS or Android are most often caused by an outdated app version, the phone's built-in browser blocking the OAuth redirect, or a system-level restriction on pop-ups and redirects. Update the app to the latest version from the App Store or Google Play, clear the app's cache in your phone's settings, and ensure the in-app browser is not blocked from completing the Discord or Google authorization.

Midjourney login not working – How to Fix

Midjourney login stops working most often due to expired Discord OAuth tokens, corrupted browser cookies, or a network blocking the authentication redirect — clear your cookies for midjourney.com and discord.com, disable browser extensions, and attempt login from an incognito window. If you recently changed your Discord password, you must re-authorize the Midjourney connection. Check status.midjourney.com for outages before troubleshooting.

Midjourney login page – How to Fix

If the Midjourney login page is not loading, shows a blank screen, or keeps looping, the fix is almost always one of three things: clear your browser cookies and cache for midjourney.com, disable extensions that block scripts, or switch to a different browser. The login page loads from midjourney.com and requires JavaScript and Discord/Google OAuth to complete — both must be unblocked.

Midjourney Login with Email – How to Fix

Fix Midjourney login problems by clearing site cookies, disabling extensions/VPN, completing OAuth re‑authorization (Google/Apple), and trying a different network. If you’re stuck in a loop, reset the session and verify you’re using the same login method as the account.

Midjourney login with email – How to Fix

Midjourney does not support direct email/password login — you must sign in through Discord or Google. If you originally created your account with a specific email via Google sign-in, use that Google account to log in. If you cannot remember which method you used, try both Discord and Google; whichever one matches your original registration will work.

Midjourney login with Google – How to Fix

Midjourney Google login fails most often because of a browser cookie conflict, a Google account session mismatch, or an extension blocking the OAuth redirect — clear cookies for midjourney.com and google.com, open an incognito window, and try again. Make sure you select the same Google account you used when you originally registered for Midjourney, as each Google account creates a separate Midjourney profile.

Midjourney Login – How to Fix

Fix Midjourney login problems by clearing site cookies, disabling extensions/VPN, completing OAuth re-authorization (Google/Apple), and trying a different network. If you're stuck in a loop, reset the session and verify you're using the same login method as the account.

Midjourney: You Are Not Allowed to Use This Command in Discord — Fix

The 'You are not allowed to use this command' error in Midjourney Discord appears when the channel does not have the bot's slash commands enabled, when the bot lacks Use Application Commands permission in that channel, or when your account has a restriction. The fastest fix is to verify the channel permissions: in Discord, right-click the channel → Edit Channel → Permissions → find Midjourney Bot → ensure Use Application Commands is enabled.

Midjourney payment error – How to Fix

Midjourney payment errors are almost always caused by one of 4 issues: an expired or replaced card, a bank block on international recurring charges, a failed 3-D Secure authentication, or billing address mismatch — go to midjourney.com/account, update your payment method, call your bank to authorize Stripe charges, then retry.

Midjourney payment failed – How to Fix

Midjourney payment failed errors are caused by bank declines, expired cards, or failed 3-D Secure authentication — update your payment method at midjourney.com/account, call your bank to authorize recurring charges from Stripe, and ensure your billing address matches your bank records exactly before retrying.

Midjourney rate limit – How to Fix

Midjourney rate limits cap you at 3 concurrent Fast mode jobs on Basic and Standard plans — when you hit the limit, stop new requests, wait 60 seconds, then use the /relax command to switch to unlimited Relax mode if you are on Standard or higher, or simply wait for your current jobs to finish before submitting new ones.

Midjourney refund policy – How to Fix

Midjourney's refund policy allows refunds only if you have used less than 1% of your monthly image generation allocation and request the refund within a short window after billing — contact support at docs.midjourney.com with your transaction ID to request a refund. Midjourney plans start at $10/month and refunds are not available for partial months once significant usage has occurred.

Midjourney refund request – How to Fix

Submit a Midjourney refund request at docs.midjourney.com (select Billing category) or via the #billing-support channel in the official Midjourney Discord — include your transaction ID from your Stripe receipt, registered email, and refund reason. Midjourney refunds are approved if you used less than 1% of your monthly allocation; responses arrive within 1 to 5 business days.

Midjourney refund – How to Fix

Midjourney refunds are available if you used less than 1% of your plan's monthly image allocation — request through docs.midjourney.com with your Stripe transaction ID and expect a response within 1 to 5 business days. Plans range from $10/month (Basic) to $120/month (Mega); partial month refunds after significant usage are not covered by standard policy.

Midjourney Subscription Renewal Failed

Midjourney subscription renewals fail in over 80% of cases due to expired cards, bank blocks on recurring international charges, or insufficient funds — go to midjourney.com/account, update your payment method under Billing, then contact your bank to whitelist recurring charges from Midjourney's payment processor.

Midjourney usage limit – How to Fix

Midjourney's usage limit means your monthly Fast GPU hours are exhausted — Basic plan gets approximately 200 images, Standard gets 15 Fast GPU hours, Pro gets 30 hours, and Mega gets 60 hours. To continue generating: switch to Relax mode with /relax (Standard+), purchase additional Fast hours at midjourney.com/account, or upgrade your plan.
