How to cancel Midjourney
To cancel your Midjourney subscription, log into your account on Midjourney.com, go to your account settings, select "Manage Subscription," and click the cancel button. The process takes about two minutes. Your access ends when ready, though you keep any images you created during your subscription.
Midjourney does not offer refunds for the current billing period, even if you cancel mid-month. If you were charged today and want to cancel before next month's charge, you still need to go through the cancellation steps now — waiting until later in the month will not prevent the next charge.
If you subscribed through Discord (Midjourney's chat platform) instead of the website, the cancellation steps are slightly different. Both paths are covered below.
Key Takeaways
- Cancel through Midjourney.com by logging in, finding account settings, selecting "Manage Subscription," and clicking cancel.
- Your access stops right away, but you keep all images you made while subscribed.
- Midjourney does not refund the current month's charge, so cancel as soon as you decide to stop.
- If you subscribed through Discord's bot commands instead of the website, you will need to use Discord's subscription management to cancel.
Canceling through the Midjourney website
Start by opening Midjourney.com in your browser and signing in with the email and password you used when you created your account. If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot your password?" on the login page and follow the reset link sent to your email.
Once you are logged in, look for your account icon or profile menu — usually a small circle or initial in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select "Account" or "Settings." From there, find the option labeled "Manage Subscription" or "Billing." Click it to see your current plan and payment method.
On the subscription management page, you will see a button or link that says "Cancel Plan" or "Cancel Subscription." Click it. Midjourney will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount to stay — you can ignore this and proceed with the cancellation. Once you click the final confirm button, your subscription is canceled.
Canceling a Discord-based subscription
If you subscribed to Midjourney through Discord rather than the website, you need to cancel through Discord's own subscription system, not through Midjourney directly. Open Discord and go to your User Settings by clicking the gear icon next to your username at the bottom left of the screen.
In User Settings, select "Subscriptions" from the left menu. You will see a list of any active subscriptions. Find the Midjourney subscription in the list and click it. Then click "Cancel Subscription" and confirm. Discord will stop charging you, and your Midjourney access will end.
The reason for this difference is that Discord handles the payment and billing for subscriptions made through its platform, while Midjourney handles payments made directly on its website. Canceling in the wrong place will not stop your charges.
What happens after you cancel
Your access to Midjourney's image generation tools stops when ready after cancellation. You will no longer be able to create new images or use the fast generation feature. If you have a queue of images waiting to be generated, those will be canceled and not completed.
All images you created while your subscription was active remain yours and stay in your account. You can view them, read them, and use them however you want. Canceling does not delete your work or your account history.
If you want to use Midjourney again later, you can resubscribe at any time by going through the same payment process. There is no penalty for canceling and returning later, and you will not lose access to images you made before.
Preventing accidental charges
Midjourney charges on the same day each month that you first subscribed. If you subscribed on the 15th, you will be charged on the 15th of every month. To avoid being charged for a month you do not want, cancel before that date arrives.
Check your credit card or bank statement if you are unsure when your billing date is. The charge will appear as "Midjourney" or "Midjourney Inc." Look at the date it appears each month, and you will know when to cancel if you decide to stop.
If you were charged after canceling, contact Midjourney's support through their website. Explain when you canceled and when the charge appeared. They can sometimes reverse charges made after a cancellation was processed, though this depends on how quickly the payment system processed your request.
If you cannot access your account
If you cannot log into Midjourney because you forgot your password or no longer have access to your email address, you will need to recover your account before you can cancel. Go to Midjourney.com and click "Forgot your password?" Enter the email address associated with your account. Midjourney will send a password reset link to that email.
If you no longer have access to that email address, contact Midjourney support through their website and explain the situation. Provide any information you remember about your account — the email you used, when you subscribed, or the payment method. Support can help you regain access so you can cancel.
If you subscribed through Discord and cannot access Discord, the same principle applies: you will need to recover access to your Discord account first. Use Discord's account recovery page to reset your password or regain access to your email.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?
No. Midjourney does not refund any portion of the current month's charge, even if you cancel on the first day after being charged. If you want to avoid paying for a month you will not use, cancel before your billing date.
Can I pause my subscription instead of canceling?
Midjourney does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to stay subscribed or cancel completely. If you think you might return, canceling and resubscribing later is the same as pausing — you will not lose your images or account history.
What if I cancel but forget and get charged again?
Contact Midjourney support and show them proof of your cancellation request and the charge. They can review when the cancellation was processed and may reverse the charge if it was made after your cancellation went through. Response times vary, but support usually replies within a few business days.
Do I lose my images if I cancel?
No. All images you created while subscribed stay in your account forever. You can read them, view them, and use them even after your subscription ends. Canceling only removes your ability to create new images.
Can I cancel and resubscribe to the same plan later?
Yes. There is no waiting period or penalty for canceling and coming back. You can resubscribe to any plan at any time, and your account history and images will be waiting for you.
