Again cards aren't showing up the same day

Anki Help
1

Hello,

I recently just updated Anki in preparation for medical school after using the same version for a few years.

The issue I am having is that my “Again” cards (10m interval) are not showing up in 10m on the same day / they are not being represented in the red value above the answer buttons. In the previous version of Anki that I used, the cards I pressed “Again” for would keep showing up until I eventually pressed “Good” or “Easy” - I would like this to occur again instead of seeing the “Again” cards the next day! Any help is greatly appreciated. I have found forum postings on here with similar issues, but each user’s situation seems so unique and I feel like I need a personalized diagnosis for this issue.

Thank you so much!

Go to Preferences > Review > Learn ahead limit and set the value to 10m.

I am not sure about relearning card not counting towards red counter part. I think it should and even if you don’t do what I said you should be seeing your cards after 10m has elapsed.

Thank you so much. I changed my learn ahead limit to 10 min.

Before you posted your reply, under deck options, I also changed:
Learning steps to: 1m
Re-learning steps to: 1m 10m

Will this negatively impact the learn ahead limit setting I changed? In other words, will these settings contradict each other?

Thank you!

No you’re fine. Although, I’m not sure about the learning step. Are you fine with only one 1 minute step?

I really appreciate your help! It is now working and “Again” cards are populating within the red value.

I’m not sure. What is the learning step set to by default?

8

Nothing was wrong with Anki. You simply needed to wait for 10 minutes.

The default is 1m 10m.

The options are explained in the tooltips. Click the ? icon on each section to see brief explanations.

Now that I changed the learning and re-learning settings back to their default, the “Again” cards are not showing up instantly again.

13

The cards will show up “instantly again” only if there are no other cards to study in the same deck. Otherwise, it won’t behave as you wish.

14

The red counter will only indicate the number of Learn/Relearn cards that can be studied right now. A card on a 1m step will show there after the 1m delay has passed.

The learn-ahead limit is still the setting you need. But if you want to pull all Learn/Relearn cards forward to be reviewable immediately (if there are no other cards remaining to be studied), you need to set it for whatever your smallest largest step is. Preferences - Anki Manual

smallest or largest?

17

Correct – I did mean largest. Thanks!

This seems to be a common source of confusion. Is the changed learn ahead limit caused by one of the butler add-ons/AnkiHub or some online guide?

I’ve still never been able to get anyone to point me to a source.
