Quick Answer

Check your Midjourney job status by viewing your submission in the Discord channel where it was created, or use the /info command to see your account's job queue. You can also monitor progress through direct messages from the Midjourney bot.

Prerequisites

  • Active Midjourney subscription
  • Discord account connected to Midjourney
  • Basic familiarity with Discord interface
  • At least one submitted job or prompt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Navigate to the channel where you submitted your job

Open Discord and go to the Midjourney server channel where you originally submitted your prompt. Look for your recent message containing the /imagine command or other Midjourney command you used.
Jobs are processed in the same channel where they were submitted, making it easy to track progress.
2

Locate your job in the channel

Scroll through the channel to find your prompt submission. Your job will appear as a message from the Midjourney Bot showing your username and the prompt text you entered.
Use Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to search for your username or specific prompt keywords to find your job quickly.
3

Check the job progress indicator

Look at your job message to see the current status. You'll see either:
  • Waiting to start - Job is queued
  • Progress bar (0-100%) - Job is actively processing
  • Completed image grid - Job is finished
  • Error message - Job failed
The progress bar updates in real-time, so you don't need to refresh the page.
4

Use the /info command for detailed status

Type /info in any Midjourney channel to get comprehensive information about your account, including:
  • Currently running jobs
  • Queued jobs waiting to process
  • Subscription usage statistics
  • Fast hours remaining
The /info command shows all your jobs across different channels in one convenient summary.
5

Check your direct messages

Click on Direct Messages in Discord's left sidebar and look for messages from Midjourney Bot. The bot sends DM notifications for job completions and important updates about your submissions.
Enable Discord notifications for direct messages to get instant alerts when your jobs complete.
6

Monitor queue times during peak hours

During busy periods, check the #status-updates channel in the Midjourney server for announcements about current queue times and system status. This helps set expectations for job completion times.
Queue times are typically longer during US evening hours and weekends when usage is highest.
7

Review completed jobs in your gallery

Visit midjourney.com/app and log in to see all your completed jobs organized in a gallery format. Click on any image to view the original prompt and generation details.
The web gallery is the best place to review and download your completed work in high resolution.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Job stuck at 0% for several minutes

This usually indicates high server load. Wait 10-15 minutes, and if still stuck, try canceling with the ❌ reaction and resubmitting your prompt.

Cannot find my submitted job in the channel

Check if you submitted in the correct channel and scroll up to find your message. If using a busy channel, your job may have been pushed up by other users' submissions.

/info command shows no running jobs but image hasn't appeared

Your job may have completed but the message failed to update. Check your DMs from Midjourney Bot or refresh Discord. The image might also be available in your web gallery at midjourney.com/app.

Getting 'application did not respond' error when checking status

This indicates a temporary Discord connection issue. Wait 30 seconds and try the /info command again, or check your job status directly in the channel where it was submitted.
