The midjourney.com web app streams job progress over a websocket. When that connection breaks, jobs look stuck even though they are running server-side.
First: check whether the job actually ran
Open your archive or run /info in Discord. If the image exists there, only the live view failed — refresh and it will appear.
Fix the connection
- Disable VPNs, proxies and DNS filters. These break websockets more often than anything else.
- Turn off ad blockers and privacy extensions for midjourney.com.
- Clear site data, then sign in again with the correct Discord account.
- Try incognito, then a second browser.
- On corporate networks, ask whether outbound websocket traffic is filtered — switching to a phone hotspot confirms it in seconds.
Genuinely stuck jobs
- Cancel and resubmit once; cancelled jobs are not billed.
- Peak relax-mode queues can exceed ten minutes. Switch to fast mode for time-sensitive work.
- If every job across both Discord and the website stalls, it is an outage: Midjourney is down or not loading.
