Hello, i have a massive deck with a lot of subjects/subgroups in that deck.  
I set my daily limit to 38 cards. When i choose a topic (green in picture attached) and i reach 38 cards it shows the congrats limit reached message. However, when i check the other subjects (red in picture attached) in the same deck it still allows me to do more. I dont know how to fix it so please help if you know. I have attached my settings (which i believe i didn’t change anything in but the daily limit and the review limit).

The decks in the screenshot are subdecks of one parent deck. And you want the limit of the parent deck to apply to all the subdecks, am I correct?

In deck options, turn on **Limits start from top** option. This should make it so that studying from one of your subdecks count towards the limit of all of your subdecks.
