Hello, I have created a brand new deck and set a daily new card limit of 30/day, then I started reviewing it to test if I got the options right, I reviewed 13 cards and later resetted the deck so I could start studying it for real. However, Anki only shows me 17 new cards to study, not the 30 I have set up before, somehow Anki still counts the cards I have studied before even after I have resetted the deck, why is this happening? The deck is top-level and when resetting I checked the “reset repetition and lapse counts” option, and the options are all default except for new cards/review limit and display order.
You didn’t reset the deck, you reset certain cards to New. That changes the state of the cards, but it doesn’t change the fact that you actually studied cards today. To do that, you’d need a time machine, or the software equivalent of one – which would put your database back to how it was before you studied those cards.
You’ve got options:
- Leave it alone – set a “Today only” New card limit of 43, and introduce 30 New cards today as you intended. Except for your study history being slightly inflated for today, this won’t have any effect on you going forward.
- Go back in time –
- If you haven’t closed or synced since then – Edit > Undo [Ctrl Z] through all of the “Answer Card” actions. [If you select it from the menu, Anki will describe which change it is reversing with each click (useful when you can’t see where the change is happening!).] However, there’s a chance this is too many actions to Undo, especially if you’ve been trying other things to fix it.
- Restore from an automatic or manual backup, Restoring an Automatic Backup (Recovering from Data Loss) - Frequently Asked Questions . You’ll lose any edits/review history that happened after that backup.
- Force a one-way sync and download from AnkiWeb. You’ll lose any edits/review history on this device that you didn’t already sync to AnkiWeb.
