Have you subscribed to Midjourney to create great images? If yes, and you don’t know how to check the number of fast hours left on your account, then don’t worry, this guide will help you know how to check the Midjourney fast time remaining.
Midjourney is a great platform to create any kind of AI-generated images with different parameters based on the prompts you provide.
Technically, Midjourney uses a diffusion process – a method that relies on machine learning (ML) and generative AI technologies. This process translates text prompts into visual data, resulting in the creation of attractive images.
In Midjourney, a portion of GPU power is subtracted from your fast hour time for each task you complete. Most of the time while creating AI images, it is the parameters that mostly decide how much it will consume your fast minutes.
Different subscriptions have a different number of fast working hours.

How to Check Midjourney Fast Time Remaining
One way to check the number of remaining Fast Hours is to access the Midjourney bot in the Discord server. Another way to check the remaining Fast Hours is to log in to the Midjourney account on the Midjourney website.
How to Check Fast Time Remaining on Website?
First, you need to log into your Midjourney account on the Midjourney website. Once you have logged in, click on “Manage Subscription” in the menu area and there you will see the details of your plan. In the plan details section, you can see how many hours of Fast GPU remain on your account.
How to Check Fast Time Remaining on Discord?
Here, too, you have to log into Discord and access the Midjourney server or your server with the Midjourney bot. After you have accessed the server, you must enter “/info” in the message box and press the Enter key. As a result, all the details of your account will be displayed in the chat section. In the info box, you can see how much time you have left in your account.
What is Fast GPU Time in Midjourney?
The fast GPU time is the amount of time a paid subscriber can get to generate images quickly because the images are processed by powerful GPUs within one minute. It can also be referred to as the amount of time your account can connect directly to fast GPUs.
The fast GPU time can be used primarily when you generate images in fast mode on your server. However, it can also be used if you change the parameters of your generated images, upscale the image, or make other changes to your generated image.
Each subscriber receives a certain number of fast GPU hours depending on their plan. When they have used up their fast time, they must either purchase an additional hour or create images in relax mode.
For those of you who don’t know, there are two main modes in Midjourney – Fast Mode and Relax Mode.
Relax mode costs you nothing if you have a paid plan, apart from the basic subscription plan, but relax mode has its drawbacks, such as it takes a lot of time to generate an image grid, it gets slower to generate images over time, and more.
How to save fast hours in Midjourney?
- With accurate prompts that fully describe your image requirements, you don’t have to recreate the same images with minor changes. It also saves GPUs time when you include parameters such as resolution, aspect ratios, color combinations, etc. in your prompts.
- Be active in the public Midjourney channel on Discord, where you can earn an extra hour by participating in surveys. Sometimes there are different types of surveys in the channels. If you are lucky and complete the survey, you will receive an hour of fast GPU time as a reward.
- You can also save fast GPU time by generating low or average-quality images that are good enough to understand the basic details of the generated image.
- By using relax mode, you can save fast GPU times. If you do not want to generate images quickly, you can switch from fast mode to relax mode. This will generate your images in relax mode and your time quota for fast mode will not be reduced.
- You have the opportunity to receive a free fast GPU hour every day by rating images in the “Midjourney Ranked Pairs” section. The top 2000 raters will receive an additional one fast hour each day. If you are one of the top 2000 raters, the Midjourney bot will automatically add a fast hour to your account.
- When creating an image, you can save GPU time with the stop command. However, the generated image may be blurred and inaccurate, but it can certainly save you a few hours of time.
How are Fast Hours Calculated in Midjourney?
When you buy a subscription plan in Midjourney, you get a few hours of faster GPU time. Each plan offers a certain amount of time. Fast hours is the time in which you can process your prompts directly via GPUs to generate images.
According to Midjourney, a paying user can create an image grid with four images in one minute. In a fast hour, you will create around 55 to 60 image grids.
For every task you complete in fast mode, a few minutes are deducted from your fast hours quota. Heavier prompts require a higher number of fast minutes.
