Why is the Midjourney bot not responding?

The Midjourney bot may not respond due to Discord outages, Midjourney server maintenance, your subscription expiring, incorrect bot commands, or being banned from a server channel.

Is Midjourney down right now?

Check status.midjourney.com for real-time uptime information. Also check Discord's status at discordstatus.com since Midjourney relies on Discord's infrastructure.

Why is Midjourney not generating images?

Image generation failures are usually caused by Midjourney server load, an expired subscription, or prompts that violate community guidelines. Try a simpler prompt or wait a few minutes.

Does Midjourney work without Discord?

Yes. Midjourney now has a standalone web app at midjourney.com/app that works independently of Discord, though some features are still Discord-first.
