Effect of decreasing "maximum interval" on higher intervals

Hi everybody.

I will decrease the “maximum interval” from 10 years to only 1 year.
Could you please tell me, what is the expected effect of this change on cards which have already
an interval larger that 1 year ?

Thx for your help.

Changes are not affected retractively, this means that new interval won’t be affected until you review the card. What will occur is that when you review a card with higher interval than a year, the new interval will be one year for both good and easy ratings.
