Midjourney Users Utilize `/fast` Mode Less During Weekends
A Midjourney team member shared a user behavior statistic showing that users trigger the `/fast` generation mode less frequently during weekends. This pattern highlights how user behavior shifts from time-sensitive usage during the week to more casual usage on weekends. It also suggests that users may prefer to conserve their limited "Fast" GPU hours when they are not in a rush. The observation jokingly connects the drop in `/fast` mode usage to the idea that weekends are for "relaxation," referencing Midjourney's alternative `/relax` mode.
## BACKGROUND
Midjourney offers different GPU speed modes, including Fast, Relax, and Turbo, to control how quickly images are generated. Fast mode provides immediate GPU processing but consumes a user's monthly quota of "Fast hours," whereas Relax mode is unlimited for certain subscription tiers but places jobs in a queue that can take longer to complete.
