Key takeaways
- Cancel from the Manage Subscription Page with the Cancel Plan button; it takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle.
- Midjourney subscriptions always renew automatically, and renewal can't be turned off without cancelling.
- Refunds are only for accounts with less than 20 lifetime GPU minutes, per Midjourney's help page read on October 30, 2026.
Midjourney cancel subscription steps: log in at midjourney.com, open your Manage Subscription Page and click the Cancel Plan button. According to Midjourney's Canceling Your Subscription help page, the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep your plan until then. This guide is based on Midjourney's help center pages as read on October 30, 2026.
Midjourney has no way to turn off automatic renewal on its own. Every plan renews automatically, and cancelling is the only way to stop the next charge. That makes timing the main thing to get right.
What you need before you start
- The Midjourney account that holds the subscription. If you have trouble signing in, Midjourney has a separate help page, Logging In & Connecting Accounts.
- A look at your renewal date. The Managing Your Subscription page says it sits under "Billing & Payment" on the Manage Subscription Page.
- A decision about the magazine. A Midjourney Magazine subscription is separate from the image generation subscription and is cancelled in a different place (see below).
How to cancel your Midjourney subscription
- Go to midjourney.com and log in.
- Open your Manage Subscription Page.
- If you have an upgrade or downgrade scheduled, click Cancel Change first. Midjourney says to do this before you cancel the subscription itself.
- Click the Cancel Plan button and follow the prompts.
Midjourney's help pages don't describe the screens after step 4 in more detail, so what you see there may differ from what is written here.
What happens after you cancel
Per the same page, you keep all your subscription features, including any Fast time you haven't used, until the end of the billing cycle. The plan then ends and does not renew.
Cancelling does not delete your generated images or your account history. Private images stay private, and you can resubscribe at any time. Midjourney's page on turning off automatic renewals adds that cancelling carries no penalties and that you can reach your saved images on midjourney.com without an active subscription.
Because renewal can't be switched off, the same page says you will need to cancel again after any future resubscription if you don't want it to renew.
Can you get a refund when you cancel Midjourney
Only in a narrow case. As of October 30, 2026, the Requesting a Refund page says you are eligible only if you have used less than 20 GPU minutes over the lifetime of your account, counting both Fast/Turbo and Relax time.
If you qualify, the option to request a refund appears automatically when you cancel. If you don't see it, Midjourney says it can't provide a refund. Refund eligibility also does not apply if your account was suspended or terminated for breaking the Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
Refund processing can take up to 10 business days depending on your bank, and you should get a confirmation email from Midjourney within a few minutes. If you see an error message, the page suggests waiting an hour and trying again, because your renewal payment may still be processing. If it keeps happening, contact billing support.
How to cancel a paused plan
A plan shows as "Paused" when a renewal payment fails. Midjourney's Fixing a Paused Plan page says the system retries the payment several times over several days, and if none work, the subscription is cancelled automatically.
To stop the retries right away, open the Manage Subscription Page and cancel the paused plan. You can resubscribe from the same page afterwards. To fix the payment instead, use the Edit Billing button on that page.
How to cancel a Midjourney Magazine subscription
The magazine is a separate subscription. According to the Midjourney Magazine Subscription FAQ, you enter your billing email in the magazine subscription portal, open the link sent to your inbox, and click Cancel Plan. That stops future issues. Issues you have already paid for are still sent.
Where to check next
Once you have cancelled, go back to the Manage Subscription Page and confirm the plan is marked as cancelled and shows when it ends. For payment problems or anything the help pages don't cover, Midjourney points users to billing support.
