This article summarizes the three questions people ask most about Midjourney: how to enable privacy mode, why jobs keep queuing, and whether creations can be permanently deleted. Many issues look like “image generation is broken,” but are actually caused by settings or platform mechanisms. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot—usually there’s no need to reinstall repeatedly or switch accounts.
What exactly can Stealth Mode hide?
Midjourney’s privacy capability mainly depends on whether you have Stealth (invisible) permission; without it, generated content may appear in public showcase areas. Even if you only post in private channels on Discord, your Midjourney generation history may still be used by the system for display—this is often misunderstood.
If you truly need “private by default,” first confirm on the subscription page whether your account includes Stealth, and only generate after turning it on. For older works that were already generated, it may not be fully controllable whether they can completely disappear from public areas; the safer approach is to ensure all future generations are done while in Stealth.
Jobs keep queuing or stuck waiting: check mode and concurrency first
Common reasons Midjourney queues jobs include: you’re currently in Relax (reduced-speed) mode, servers are congested, or you’ve submitted more jobs than your concurrency limit allows. You can type /info in Discord to see whether you’re on Fast or Relax and the queue status—many “stalls” are simply waiting.
If a job is unresponsive for a long time, first locate that job message in Discord and try canceling it (there’s usually a cancel button/action). After canceling, resend the same prompt to avoid piling up too many tasks and causing Midjourney to keep saying the queue is busy.
