Learning cards have no interval, they follow the learning steps:

Once the card has been learned, the card will “gain” and interval, and won’t follow the learning steps anymore.

If your “Maximim interval” is, say, 30, and you press “Good” or “Easy” on a review card with an interval of 30, the new interval will be 30 again.
