0% ease on 772 cards?

Hello damien, greetings.

I was going through my collection today and i found 772 cards with an ease of 0%.

I don’t know how it happened, I just discovered it incidentally.

Also in the past few days whenever ran the ‘checked database’ on AnkiMobile or AnkiDesktop, it would fix 5-6 cards with invalid properties most of the time.

I am on latest versions of both.

Please help, thank you.

New and cards that are in the initial learning phase do have an Ease of 0%. If you are concerned what “Learning cards” are, look here. Does this apply to your cards? You could also try the search query: is:learn -is:review. These should bring up all those cards with 0% Ease.

Concerning the “checked database” error: it is hard to say what it means without more details regarding the error message (or even a screenshot).

Thank you for your reply.

It’s relieving to know that this is a normal behaviour.

I tried your script, it brings most of the cards that are at 0% ease, but it also brings some cards that are at 250% ease though.

Yes, those will be cards you rescheduled as new cards in the browser.
