Midjourney generation requires an active subscription.

Error message

Midjourney generation requires an active subscription.

What it means

assertGenerationEntitlement checks the account payload from subscriptions-check and throws CommandExecutionError when status !== 'active' or plan.type is missing. Generation is impossible without an active subscription, so the CLI fails fast with a pointer to the account page instead of submitting doomed jobs.

Solutions

1. Visit midjourney.com/account and renew/reactivate the subscription.
2. Verify payment method is valid and the latest invoice was paid.
3. Confirm the account payload actually shows status 'active'; if it does but the error still fires, the CLI's field expectations may be outdated — update the library.

Example fix

// before
await assertGenerationEntitlement(account); // throws on lapsed plan
// after
if (account.status !== 'active') {
  console.error('Subscription inactive — renew at midjourney.com/account');
  process.exit(1);
}
await assertGenerationEntitlement(account);

const account = await getMidjourneyAccount(page);
const canGenerate = account.status === 'active' && Boolean(account.plan?.type);
if (!canGenerate) console.error('Subscription inactive — renew at midjourney.com/account before generating.');

function hasActiveSubscription(account) {
  return account != null && typeof account === 'object' && account.status === 'active' &&
    typeof account.plan === 'object' && account.plan !== null && Boolean(account.plan.type);
}

try {
  assertGenerationEntitlement(account);
} catch (err) {
  if (/requires an active subscription/.test(err.message)) {
    console.error('Renew your plan at midjourney.com/account.');
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Called after getMidjourneyAccount with account.status not equal to 'active' or account.plan?.type falsy — e.g. trial ended, subscription lapsed, payment failed, or account is on a plan type the payload does not report.

Common situations: Billing renewal failed, user cancelled subscription, new account with no plan, or Midjourney renaming plan fields so the check misreads an active account as inactive.
