How Does “/relax” Command Work in Midjourney?

Midjourney is an AI image creation platform that utilizes powerful GPUs to analyze and execute each prompt. When users purchase a Midjourney subscription plan, they purchase time on GPUs. Each subscription plan has a different amount of monthly GPU time and image generation modes. Currently, Midjourney offers three generation modes for image creation i.e., Turbo mode, Fast mode, and Relax mode. These modes consume/utilize different amounts of the user’s monthly allocated GPU time.

This blog will illustrate:

What is Relax Mode in Midjourney?

In Midjourney, the relax mode is the image generation mode that enables users to generate desired images without using any GPU time. It generates images at a slow speed. When this mode is enabled, every request submitted by the users to the Midjourney Bot is placed in a queue and will begin processing as soon as GPUs are available. The image generation duration can vary from 0 to 10 minutes per task depending on GPU availability.

Note: The relax mode is available only on Standard, Pro, and Mega plan subscriptions and not available in the Basic plan.
