Apparently reached Collection Size limit. What now?

So from what I understood from your reply, it is just down to how many cards I have that the growth in collection size is exponential as this. Flipping hell. I am much more conscious about memory size but I did not I was taking up so much space. The thing seems a bit too suspect for me, I did know it was taking up memory that fast.

There is something still wrong. Because if I was taking up memory at a rate of 4 MB per week, I would have reached the collection size limit a long time ago (250MB withing 63 weeks). But I am using Anki since 2.5-3 years now. So something has started to come in lately that is eating through my memory.

Is there something under my control to slow down the massive rate of memory consumption (other than adding less cards)?

IMO use the help of o4 and sync to a different service. It’ll be a lot better than being all the time concerned about collection size.

A temporary workaround if your deck is too large to sync is to manually export and import your collection. If you can connect at home via wifi or wired it may be faster than AnkiWeb.

But doesn’t that defeat the purpose of syncing. My decks wouldn’t then be around while syncing, and the purpose of syncing is for my decks to be seeable on my other devices and in the case of an emergency backup.

To be precise I meant manual sync, not size reduction. e.g. After reviewing on mobile export the collection and import it into laptop Anki and the data will be synced. One Anki user whose syncing doesn’t work said in the subreddit that they do it that way.
