Subscription expired: Your Midjourney subscription may have ended or your GPU minutes may be used up.
Bot banned in channel: The Midjourney bot may not have permissions in the channel you're using.

• On mobile: Force close the app and restart it.

If the bot still doesn't respond after trying all fixes, submit a support ticket through the Midjourney website or ask for help in the #support channel on the Midjourney Discord server.
Q: Why does Midjourney say "Job queued"?
A: Your image generation request is waiting in line. During busy periods, there may be a queue. Paid plans with Fast mode get priority processing.
Q: Can I use Midjourney for free?
A: Midjourney occasionally offers free trials, but generally requires a paid subscription starting at $10/month.
Q: Why is my Midjourney image generation slow?
A: If you've used all your Fast GPU minutes, you'll be switched to Relax mode which is slower. Upgrade your plan or wait for your monthly minutes to reset.
Q: How do I add Midjourney bot to my own Discord server?
A: Go to midjourney.com, log in, and use the bot invitation link to add it to your server. Make sure the bot has appropriate permissions in the channels you want to use it in.
