My Anki has been acting up for the past couple of days, and the problem hasn’t resolved. Around 20 cards keep repeating over and over, even when I select ‘easy.’ The random cards keep getting added to the repeating card pile every session. Despite clicking ‘easy’ multiple times, the review interval stays stuck at 1 or 2 days, even though I have many cards set for much longer intervals. This issue affects only certain cards, while others seem to behave semi-normally, which brings me to the second issue.
Another issue is that some cards don’t repeat at all and are being automatically placed into the ‘learned’ or ‘easy’ pile without me telling Anki to do so. Even when I click ‘again,’ those cards don’t show up for review again. Interestingly, the new cards I’m trying to learn and click ‘again’ on—those that are initially registered as ‘learned’ or ‘easy’ for some reason—do show up in my red learning pile once I exit and re-enter Anki. However U can’t do that forever and I don’t know if it’s reliable. I’ve noticed that the Anki app on my phone seems to handle reviews slightly better, but the issue with the repeating cards persists there as well.
I’ve tried several troubleshooting steps, including removing corrupted add-ons (like card postponing), checking the database multiple times, restarting and reinstalling the app, ensuring it’s updated, using manual clicks instead of my remote, and disabling FSRS (though nothing changed, so I re-enabled it).
I believe this issue started the same day I adjusted my 8bitdo remote keyboard settings, however I don’t believe they’re related. I’ve since reverted the remote settings back to the old ones and am currently manually clicking without using the remote, but the problem still persists. It’s frustrating because new cards often register as if I already know them when I click ‘1’ or ‘again,’ and I can’t properly learn them. Meanwhile, those 50 cards keep cycling regardless of how often I select ‘easy.’
Again, I have used anki almost every day for 2.5 years, i’ve adjusted settings here and there, have had remote problems, but never this. Theres no duplicate notes. Let me know if i should and how I can reset all these cards before I go too deep into Anking and risk losing more progress. I apologize for the length of this post, but I’ve tried a lot of solutions before resorting to posting on the forum, and I want to provide as much background as possible to avoid too much back-and-forth.
Attached are screenshots of my settings for one of my decks, but again this problem is affecting the other one too: (they’re almost identical, just one has 100 new cards daily, other only has 20 new cards daily)
