How to Cancel Midjourney (2026)
Cancel from midjourney.com/account or with /subscribe in Discord. Midjourney is unusual in offering a genuine refund if you have barely used your fast hours.
⚠️ Check this before you cancel
Cancelling does not make your generated images private. On any plan below Pro, everything you made was public in the community gallery from the moment you made it, and it stays public after you leave. Stealth mode is a Pro-tier feature and it is not retroactive.
Step-by-Step: Cancelling Midjourney
Find the route that matches where you bought the subscription. Cancelling on the wrong one leaves the charge running.
Web (midjourney.com)
Billed by Midjourney, via Stripe- 1
Sign in at midjourney.com and open Manage Subscription
It sits under your account menu. You can sign in with the same Discord or Google account you use to generate.
- 2
Click Cancel Plan
If you are inside the refund window, the page tells you so at this point rather than making you ask support.
- 3
Confirm and check the end date
Fast hours remaining in the current period stay usable until it ends. Unused fast hours are not carried anywhere.
Discord
Billed by Midjourney, via Stripe- 1
Type /subscribe in any Midjourney channel or DM
The bot replies with a personal, single-use link to the billing page. Do not share it — anyone with the link can change your plan.
- 2
Open the link and cancel from Manage Subscription
This is the same billing portal as the web route; the Discord command is only a way of getting an authenticated link.
What Happens to Your Data and Output
- ›Images you generated stay in your gallery and remain downloadable while your account exists.
- ›Anything you made on a non-Pro plan remains publicly visible in the Midjourney community feed — cancelling does not retract it.
- ›Commercial-use rights for images generated during a paid period are not revoked when the subscription ends.
- ›Unused fast GPU hours expire at the end of the billing period; they do not bank.
Can You Get a Refund?
Midjourney publishes an unusually clear policy: if you have used less than roughly 1% of your monthly fast GPU hours, you can request a full refund of that period through the billing portal. Past that threshold the period is not refundable. This is checked automatically at the point of cancelling.
Cheaper Places to Go Instead of Midjourney
Most people cancelling still need the job done. These cover the same ground for less, or for nothing.
Leonardo
Daily free token allowance and a proper web UI rather than a Discord bot.

Free tier, and the best text-inside-image rendering of the mainstream generators.

How do I cancel Midjourney if I only ever used Discord?
Type /subscribe in any channel where the Midjourney bot is present. It DMs you a private billing link — open it and choose Cancel Plan. You can also just sign in at midjourney.com/account with the same Discord identity.
Can I get my money back for this month?
Yes, if you have used under about 1% of the period's fast GPU hours. Midjourney checks this when you cancel and offers the refund automatically rather than requiring a support ticket. Beyond that threshold the current period is not refundable.
Will my images be deleted when I cancel?
No. Your gallery stays accessible and downloadable. Export anything you care about anyway — that is cheap insurance and takes minutes.
Does cancelling make my old images private?
No, and this catches people out. Images generated on Basic, Standard, or Pro-without-stealth were public in the community gallery when created and stay public afterwards. Stealth mode only affects images made while it is active.
What is the closest free replacement?
Leonardo and Ideogram both have daily free allowances that cover casual use. If you want unlimited generation and have a decent GPU, running FLUX locally through ComfyUI costs nothing per image after setup.
