Quick answer

Midjourney 'job failed' or 'internal server error' is mostly server-side. Retry once, then simplify parameters, cancel stuck jobs and check status.

Most likely fix: Check status and retry once

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Check status and retry once

    1. Open status.midjourney.com
    2. If green, resubmit once after a few minutes
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Change the prompt if it fails twice

    1. Identical retries fail again when the cause is a parameter conflict
    2. Remove --sref, --cref or unusual --ar values and test
    3. Use direct image links for references, not page links
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Cancel and resubmit stuck jobs

    1. Discord: react to the job with the red X
    2. Web app: cancel or delete the job in the Create view
    3. Submit it again
    Did this fix it?
  4. 4. Confirm your plan is active

    1. Run /info
    2. Update payment details if the last payment failed
