Hey! I’m not really well versed in anki but I use it routinely for STEP 1 prep. My settings before used to do the following: 1. If I unlocked a new card and clicked good for that card, it would show up in 3 days. If I clicked again for the new card, it would show up in 3 minutes. 2. When I saw the card again in 3 days, if I clicked good, it would show up in 5 days. Right now, the issue I’m facing is with the 2nd bullet point above. On my second pass of the card, if I click good, it will show up in 3 days again when I actually want it to show up in 5 days. I’m not sure why and it’s really messing with my STEP prep! In the first image, you can see my settings in case I have made a mistake with them. In the second image, you can see info for a card I did today which I had unlocked on the 6th and clicked good for. Today I also clicked good and instead of being pushed 5 days, it is still pushed 3 days. Thank you for all your help! Note: In the past few days I have updated my anki to the newest version and have been using v3 scheduler. I had also toggled FSRS on for a few minutes but then toggled it off. ![89x5bh32z35c1.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/f/8/f8c611acf91cd3e31ef0ab379f41d45cb6af0ce4.webp) ![Screenshot 2023-12-09 at 9.54.50 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/e/a/eaec7b151c37858d1ac7df0a0ad57ab9da025ab4.png) ---

Seems like [Time intervals the same on 2nd day reviewing - #2 by szalejot](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/time-intervals-the-same-on-2nd-day-reviewing/37724/2), in which case I guess the card is already a review card with interval 5 days + fuzz. ---

I would have thought so too but for some reason the cards which should have become review cards are still learning cards. I did some digging and the ease is still staying at 0% ---

Try searching previous topics more, maybe somebody found the reason. Do you use syncing? These two people were: > [@Repeating Learning Step](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/repeating-learning-step/33538): > > I seem to have come across a potential bug or just a mistake somewhere in my scheduling. Either way, I’ve shown it to a few people more knowledgeable than me and we haven’t been able to figure it out. My current scheduling is as follows: Normal process for me is to hit again, then good 10 minutes later and move a card to the next day. All of the sudden, my next day cards have stopped graduating, creating things that look like this: > [@Review of graduated card registering but not affecting scheduling](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/review-of-graduated-card-registering-but-not-affecting-scheduling/18777): > > I answered some graduated cards yesterday that all had intervals of greater than one day, but I’m seeing them again on the same day as if I hadn’t answered them yesterday at all, but the review from yesterday still shows up in the card information.

Hmm it seems like a problem could be that I altered the interval steps before and after syncing. If that’s the case, will the problem resolve on its own or do I need to change anything to fix it? ---

@dae, can you look at this? ---

It may be caused by making changes on multiple devices before syncing. It will likely resolve itself when the cards are reviewed again. ---

It fixed itself. I think the issue was less of a syncing issue and moreso that when I had upgraded and the intervals changed, the cards that were in learning were messed up. ---
