Can I get a refund from Midjourney?

Refunds are only granted if you've used very little fast GPU time in the current billing cycle. If you've generated images using fast hours, expect a denial. Email **billing@midjourney.com** with your account email, the charge date, and a usage summary, and reference Midjourney's refunds documentation.

Does Midjourney offer a free trial?

Midjourney removed its free trial in 2023 due to abuse, and it has not been consistently reinstated. You generally need to subscribe to a paid plan to generate images. Check the current pricing page before signing up — any 'free hours' promotions are temporary and not auto-converted into a billed subscription.

Will I lose my images if I cancel Midjourney?

Your generated images remain in your account gallery on midjourney.com after cancellation, but if you were on a paid plan with **Stealth Mode**, your images become public once you drop to a free or cancelled state. Download anything sensitive before cancelling, and review the rights granted to Midjourney over your generations in the Terms of Service.

Can I pause my Midjourney subscription instead of cancelling?

Midjourney does not offer a formal pause feature. Your options are to cancel and resubscribe later, or downgrade to a cheaper tier (Basic at $10/month) until you're ready to use it again. Unused fast GPU time does not roll over unless you're on the yearly Pro/Mega plans with rollover enabled.

How do I cancel Midjourney if I subscribed through Discord?

Even if you signed up via the Discord bot, billing is managed at **midjourney.com**. Log in with the same Discord account, open **Manage Sub**, and cancel. Leaving the Discord server or removing the bot does **not** cancel billing — Stripe will keep charging until you cancel in-account or via billing@midjourney.com.

What if Midjourney ignores my cancellation request?

If billing@midjourney.com does not respond within 5–7 business days, escalate by: (1) replying to the same thread referencing your original timestamp, (2) for UK/EU users, citing your statutory cancellation rights, and (3) as a last resort, raising a dispute with your card issuer. Keep screenshots of the cancel button and any confirmation emails as evidence.

Is there a cancellation fee for Midjourney?

No — Midjourney does not charge a cancellation fee. You simply lose access at the end of your current paid period. However, if you cancel a **yearly** plan mid-term, you are not automatically refunded for unused months unless you qualify under the minimal-usage refund rule. Monthly plans are the safer choice if you're unsure about long-term use.

Can I downgrade my Midjourney plan instead of cancelling?

Yes. From **Manage Subscription**, you can switch between Basic, Standard, Pro, and Mega plans. Downgrades typically take effect at the next billing cycle, while upgrades are immediate and prorated. Downgrading is useful if you only need light usage but still want to retain Stealth Mode or rollover hours from a higher tier.

How long does a Midjourney refund take?

Once approved, refunds are processed back to the original payment method via Stripe and typically appear within **5–10 business days**. Approval itself can take 1–3 business days from billing@midjourney.com. If you don't see the refund after 10 business days, reply to the billing thread with your Stripe transaction ID and bank statement.

Hi Midjourney team,

I'm writing to request the immediate cancellation of my subscription tied to this account, effective today.

Under applicable consumer-protection law (UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule depending on your jurisdiction), I'm entitled to terminate this continuous service contract through the same channel it was formed in — please confirm by reply that no further charges will be made.

If your policy permits, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of the current billing period.

Best,
[your name]

Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

Midjourney’s refund policy

Midjourney offers refunds only when you have used very little of your fast GPU time during the billing period. If you've generated images using fast hours, you're generally not eligible. Cancellation always works but is effective end-of-period rather than immediate. Email billing@midjourney.com to request a refund.

Pro-rata refund: yes

What doesn’t work for cancelling Midjourney

Based on 1 sources — Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Cancelling via Discord DM to a moderator — Discord support is for product questions only; billing must go through the website or billing email.
✕ Uninstalling the Discord bot or leaving the server — This does not stop the subscription — billing continues until cancelled in account settings.
✕ Disputing the charge before contacting billing — Reddit users report Midjourney denies refunds and may suspend accounts if a chargeback is filed first.
✕ Requesting a refund after generating images — Any meaningful fast-GPU usage voids refund eligibility.

How Midjourney will try to keep you

Midjourney may respond with a retention offer — a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Offer to pause or downgrade to a cheaper tier instead of full cancellation”
You say: Thanks, I want a full cancellation effective today, not a downgrade or pause.
They’ll say: “Point to 'cancellation takes effect at period end' to keep you billed for the current cycle”
You say: I understand access continues to period end — please confirm no further charges and process a prorated refund as I have not used fast GPU time.
They’ll say: “Deny refund citing any usage at all”
You say: Per your refunds policy, I have used under the documented threshold of fast GPU minutes. Please escalate or provide my usage log.

Your rights when cancelling

Consumer law varies by where you live. The strongest hook for your country is the one to lead with when you contact the company — pick the one that applies and quote it in your email.

United States

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Midjourney to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up — same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.
California Business & Professions Code §17602 forces any company billing California residents on auto-renewal to provide an online cancel mechanism. Lawsuits have been won on this; companies often refund quickly when it’s cited.
Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA)
Negative-option billing must be clearly disclosed.
Federal law (15 U.S.C. §8401) requires Midjourney to clearly disclose any negative-option / auto-renewal terms before charging. Buried terms = potential federal violation. Report to the FTC alongside any FTC complaint.

United Kingdom

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
14-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Midjourney’s own policy.
Consumer Rights Act 2015
Services must be as described.
If Midjourney’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.

European Union

Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU
14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Midjourney must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
Digital Content Directive (EU) 2019/770
Refund rights for digital content failures.
Specific to digital subscriptions — gives you the right to a price reduction or contract termination when Midjourney’s digital service is not as advertised, with no time limit beyond the contract period.

Worldwide

Card-issuer chargeback
Your bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes — “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Midjourney has ~45 days to defend.
