How to cancel Midjourney (refunds stop at 20 GPU minutes)

You cancel Midjourney on one page: midjourney.com/account

You cancel Midjourney on the website, even if you signed up through Discord. Midjourney's cancellation page names one place to do it, the Manage Subscription page.

1. Log in at midjourney.com with the account that pays. A Discord login and a Google login can be two separate Midjourney accounts that can't be linked, and the plan sits on the one you paid with.
2. Open Manage Subscription in the sidebar, or go straight to midjourney.com/account. In Discord, the /subscribe command sends you a private link to the same page.
3. Click Cancel Change first if an upgrade or downgrade is scheduled. Midjourney's docs say to clear it before you cancel.
4. Click Cancel Plan. If your account qualifies for a refund, the option shows up here, and nowhere else.
5. Confirm, then reload the page and read the Billing and Payment section before you close the tab.

Your plan doesn't stop on the spot. Midjourney says the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. Until then you keep every feature, remaining Fast time included. So cancel today.

Can you get a refund when you cancel Midjourney?

Midjourney refunds a plan only if the account has used under 20 GPU minutes in its whole life, and Fast, Turbo and Relax time all count. The refund page puts it plainly: "You're eligible for a refund only if you've used less than 20 GPU minutes throughout the lifetime of your account."

That window is small. Midjourney's GPU speed page says one image prompt usually takes about a minute of GPU time and a video prompt about eight, and Turbo uses double the Fast time. So the refund closes after roughly 20 image prompts, 10 in Turbo, or two or three videos (as of October 2026).

Measured against a month of Fast time, the cutoff shrinks as the plan grows. Prices and Fast hours below come from Midjourney's plan comparison, as of October 2026.

Lifetime is the word that matters. If you subscribed last year, made a few dozen images and came back, you're past the line before the new plan starts. Some guides say the 20 minutes reset each billing cycle. Midjourney's own page says lifetime.

No refund option on the cancel screen means no refund, because Midjourney says it can't issue one outside that flow. If you do qualify, a confirmation email arrives within minutes and the money takes up to 10 business days, depending on your bank. An error on the refund step usually means a renewal payment is still going through. Midjourney suggests you wait an hour and try again.

Yearly plans follow the same rule. Cancel one in month two and you keep access until the year runs out, but Midjourney's docs describe no prorated refund for the months you won't use. For a charge after you cancelled, or a renewal you didn't expect, the AI subscription refunds guide covers the next steps.

What happens to your images after you cancel Midjourney?

Your images stay. Midjourney's cancellation page says: "Canceling your subscription does not delete your generated images or account history." Private images stay private, and you can come back on a new plan at any time.

Ownership survives as well. The commercial use page says you own the images and videos you create "even if you decide to cancel your subscription." One condition depends on company size: a business grossing more than $1,000,000 a year needs a Pro or Mega plan to use the images commercially.

Fast time is what you lose for good. Midjourney's Fast time page says unused Fast time vanishes at the end of each month, on monthly and yearly plans alike. Got a project waiting? Run it before the cycle ends.

Why is there no cancel button in Discord?

Discord can't cancel Midjourney because Discord doesn't bill for it. Midjourney's Nitro page says the Subscriptions page in Discord's settings shows Discord Nitro only, and Midjourney plans won't be listed there. The button lives on midjourney.com.

Discord still helps in two ways. Type /subscribe and the bot sends a private link to your account page. Type /info and it shows your Subscription, your renewal date and your Lifetime Usage.

Can't find your plan at all? You're probably logged into the other account. Midjourney's login help describes the usual case: someone logs in with Google, subscribes, then tries to link a Discord account that already made images. Each account keeps its own gallery and the two can't be linked, so the plan stays on the login that paid. Log out, log in with the other method, and look again.

Midjourney also says automatic renewal can't be switched off for good: "disabling automatic renewals entirely isn't an option." Each new plan renews until you cancel it again.

Should you downgrade instead of cancelling?

A downgrade keeps the account active for less money. Change Plan on the same page moves you to a cheaper tier. Basic costs $10 a month, or $96 a year billed yearly, as of October 2026. It has no Relax mode, though, so its 200 Fast minutes are all you get.

If you only open Midjourney a few times a month, a chat subscription that already makes images may cover it. Whizi Pro includes 100 image generations a month on Flux, Stable Diffusion and Nano Banana, next to Claude, GPT and Gemini for chat. It loses to Midjourney on Midjourney's own ground: there's no Midjourney model, generated media is kept for up to 30 days rather than in a lasting gallery, and video is on Powerhouse only. The best AI image generators roundup compares the rest, and ChatGPT's image limits matter if you already pay for ChatGPT Plus.
