Frequently asked questions about Midjourney

Why is Midjourney not generating images?
The most common causes are server overload during peak hours, exhausted fast GPU time for your subscription tier, or a prompt that violates Midjourney's content policy. Check /info in Discord to see your remaining fast hours.
What is the difference between fast and relax mode in Midjourney?
Fast mode uses dedicated GPU time and generates images in 1-2 minutes. Relax mode queues your request in shared GPU time — generation can take 10+ minutes during peak hours. Fast hours are limited per billing cycle depending on your plan.
Can I use Midjourney images commercially?
Yes, on paid plans (Basic, Standard, Pro, Mega). Free trial images and images generated while in Stealth mode have different licensing. Check Midjourney's Terms of Service at docs.midjourney.com for full commercial use rights per plan.
Why was my Midjourney prompt rejected?
Prompts are rejected when they include content that violates Midjourney's community guidelines — typically violence, adult content, or specific prohibited subjects. Rephrase the prompt to remove the triggering terms and avoid direct references to real people or copyrighted characters.
