Card not following schedule after moving it a subdeck with same options

[contra]

Cards were first in “Reverse” deck then to categorize them i created two subdecks “Phobia” and “Uncategorized”. Then i moved all the cards in either of the two subdeck.

This is the deck options for these three decks (Reverse and both subdecks) (i have used “save to all subdecks” button in options)

This is card info of one of the card in “uncategorized”

But when i go to learn that same card it shows 1h at “good” or 3rd button

As shown in “options” the learning steps are “1m 10m 1h 3h 1d 2d 3d 5d 8d 13d 21d 34d 55d”. according to card info now the “good” button should schedule it to 3d but as you can see when learning it is showing 1h at “good” button.

if i change learning steps to add new step, delete older one or replace, what ever is at 3rd position, it is shown at “good” button

even i move back those cards to original deck, the scheduling is not like it should be (as per options and as it used to work correctly earlier)

When you change learning steps, cards that are in Learn can skip or repeat learning steps. It’s an issue that has been fixed in the past, but seems to be cropping up again.

You probably don’t feel like you changed the learning steps – but it seems like one of 2 things happened here:

1. You created the new decks and moved the cards into them, and then applied the “same” preset to them they had before. – This is the clearest case. You switched the cards to a different preset and then back to this preset, so the learning steps changed and then changed back.

2. You created the new (empty) decks and applied the "same " preset to them, and then moved the cards. – This would a bit more surprising, because the same learning steps applied the whole time. But it’s possible that the Change Deck triggered as a refresh to the preset assignment regardless.

[If you’re positive you did #1, and you want to try to fix this, you could restore from an automatic backup and try to do the steps in the #2 order instead. It might prevent the issue, but I can’t be sure.]

The good news is – everything will be fine with these 41 Learn/Relearn cards. You’re going to repeat a few steps, but then they will straighten themselves out. If you can’t wait for that to happen, your alternatives are (a) Reset the Learn cards to New, and/or (b) use Set Due Date to graduate the Learn/Relearn cards to Review. [The other option I give people is to only move cards when you don’t have any in Learn/Relearn … but I suspect that’s never possible for you.]

We have to talk about the elephant in the room, even if it’s not what you’re asking about.
Um… what’s up with these learning (and relearning) steps?

Are you making a well-thought-through decision here, based on your experience and your desire to strictly control how you study? Or is this some crazy idea you got from the internet and you’re open to being counseled onto a better path?

Putting my begging request with some honour: I would really appreciate your help in this.

Optional {
What is in my heart: I have you can say an OCD for information being forgotton, I can’t tolerate it although I understand that forgetting is a part of human nature and mind or memory, one should be fine with it. It is one thing to think about this philosophy when you look out of window and see rain, birds chirp and children play and feel cool breeze on your face. But once you get few cards wrong in a row, you start to question purpose of your life. The only way to deal with this existential crisis is you do not forget cards at all.
If I am happy when going to bed at night, it means I have studied in double digit hours.
}

So, I am giving sufficient time to review cards.
To put it simply any schedule that let me forget few cards will be ammended as soon as possible or I have time, till then it will keep bugging me.

The idea behind my learing steps, graduating interval and Maximum interval is as follow:
I need to revise this deck every 90 days even if i remember all the cards in this deck perfectly.

Also Optional {
This gives me some kind of joy to assure myself that since I have revised it, I will not forget it.
I forgot to mention that I have a big RECALL problem (Anomia - Regoogled it). Once i studied well before exams, but i could not remember the word ‘capillaries’ I had to write ‘thin pipes’ in its place because i couldn’t recall the word ‘vessels’ either. That day I understood that no matter how much confident you are, revise every word with spelling, so I revise name of people also important figures and even my relatives’ name.
}

So, some Chinese guy on a forum had written that fibonacci series gives a better pace in learning or relearning steps, with a long experience with anki, I had an immediate marriage of thought with him. That was an Eureka moment for me.

So, I follow that series upto 55d (first it was upto 90d but step of ‘90’ came twice in that way), then graduate on 90 and keep it in loop by Maximum Inerval of 90.

I also have cards with Maximum interval from 1 day to 360 days.
The information is from every type of subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Economics, Geography, History, Social Science, Laws and Constitution, and English (grammar rules and review large number of words everyday), there are few more but they do not form big part in my collection.

The weight of card is from one word answers to rarely (but still very importnat) multi paragraph answers, sometime I cannot find a way to break the information in small pieces.

So this is where you play the role of good samaritan and save me, or I will be lost in darkness forever.

Jokes aside, I need something that keeps the information in loop review mode of my choice say 90 days by using Maximum Inerval setting in this case, but first bring me with confidence in that loop before i forget few cards. I need to remember these cards with good command from immediate to long term use, say 2 or 3 months to about an years.

Also I have tried to use FSRS, it messes with all the cards in your collection so you cannot use and try. I tried to use it, but did not like it.

[sorata]

use FSRS, set desired retention to max, step back and relax, would be my solution if an ungodly number of reviews each day is fine.

If you have your own personal reasons for doing it – it doesn’t seem to matter if anyone else thinks they are rational. So I will withhold my counsel about that. You do you.

The answer to your original question is unchanged.
