FSRS Graph – how do I code and visualize it on my own? Isn't 70% really low?

Is there a way for me to plot the FSRS curve myself—the one that shows the ideal retention rate vs workload (minutes per day), like 85%? I was getting confused and couldn’t quite figure out where to find it.

The minimum recommended FSRS number in my deck calculates it to be 70%, which seems rather low. I’m confused – wouldn’t the 30% of the cards that I forget everyday show up very frequently, adding up the workload instead?

You can generate the workload curve by using the script in this python package.

Export your deck and then run

python -m fsrs_optimizer "your-deck.akpg"

And have “Save graphs” Turned on.

It’s worth mentioning that “Compute Minimum Recommended Retention” doesn’t just look for DR that minimizes workload, but rather, for DR that minimizes the workload/amount of stuff memorized ratio.
