**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**  
Waiting is often the best way to deal with leeches. However, there is no way to auto-postpone leeches like in SuperMemo.

**Describe the solution you’d like**  
See: [Leeches - SuperMemo Help](https://www.help.supermemo.org/wiki/Leeches#Leech_Hunting_Options)  
An option to auto-postpone leeches. Preferably with some sort of randomization.

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**  
All the leeches I have ever gotten just remain suspended. Ideally, I would like to pull from the leech pile little by little randomly, automatically.
