MidJourney is a AI powered tool that can transform your text into image/ art.

Midjourney is an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species.

There are two ways to experience the tools: the Midjourney Bot, which you can use to generate images, and the web app at https://www.midjourney.com/, where you can find a gallery of your own work and other users’ creations.

Some users facing issue with Midjourney. It is not working properly sometimes.

In this article we will discuss why MidJourney not working and how to fix it.

Why Midjourney Not Working?

If Midjourney is not working then chances that there is some bug in Midjourney. In this scenario, you can’t do anything just wait till issue is resolved by Midjourney team.

Alternatively, You are not using correct command to use Midjourney discord server.

Also, If you are on the official Midjourney Discord server and don’t see them yet, try restarting your Discord app.

Below are some basic commands to use in Midjourney Bot channels:

/imagine creates an image based on the prompt text you provided. It produces a grid of 4 images, taking around 50 seconds with default settings.

/help displays universally helpful information and tips about the Midjourney bot.

/info shows information about your profile, plan, usage, and currently running jobs.

/subscribe creates a unique link to the subscription page of your current Discord account, without needing to sign in on the website.

/fast and /relax toggles between “fast” and “relax” mode. In fast mode, if you are out of jobs, your jobs will be incrementally billed.

In relax mode, your jobs do not cost, but take longer to generate. Only active Standard and Corporate plans have access to relax mode.

/show <jobid> after recovering the ID of a job in your gallery, you can summon that job again in the chat, producing the resulting image and upscale+variation buttons.

This allows you to essentially revive any job you generated yourself, bringing it into any bot channel to generate upscales and variations there, even if you have lost access to the original message.

/private and /public toggle between “private” and “public” mode. In private mode, your jobs are only visible to you.

In public mode, your jobs are visible to everyone in the gallery, even if you are creating them in a thread or a DM.

Midjourney Job Encountered An Error, Likely Due To Lack Of Memory

Try using --w (Width) and --h9Height) as multiple of 64 and under 1024 when inputting the command. e.g. --w 256 --h 320.

Keep in mind that --ar is better supported and should be used instead to reduce high memory consumption during Image processing..

Midjourney Cannot Send Messages To This User When Trying To DM The Bot

Go to Discord privacy settings in Midjourney server and toggle Direct Message ON.

Follow the steps below:

Long-press the Midjourney server icon.
Select Privacy Settings.
Scroll down to the “Allow direct messages from server members” toggle.

Midjourney Interaction Failed

The job will (probably) still go through processing in the Midjourney server, but it yet to show the output of the images.

If you get this with your DMs with the bot, then you have Internet connection issue and the DM privacy setting is not be allowed.

Make sure your security settings allow DMs for Midjourney server, if not follow previous step to enable the Direct message setting.

Check your Internet connection and Ensure that it is working fine and run the command.

You will find the Midjourney working fine now.

Midjourney Server Has Reached Limit Of Active Threads

If the Workspace reached the max number of thread, you cannot create anymore images in the server.

It will be possible to add new threads when older threads are moved to archive.

You need to wait until the older threads move to archive or you can join other Midjourney server and start creating your images. In the meantime, feel free to work in DM.
