just watched the newest video of anking & changed to FSRS following his steps. then started studying and the intervals are soo long, even the newest deck without any history. Can i just switch back to the older reschedueling orr what should i do?? @Danika_Dakika can u help
the new deck: no review history at all
First: donāt leave your learning steps blank, would be where Iād start.
He states in the video that leaving them blank is not a foolproof option for all users. Try reverting them and see whatās what.
Second: you say you have no review history yet the image you shared shows that you have optimized parameters, which indicates them having been optimized toā¦some review history.
When creating a new preset, the FSRS parameters will be filled in as standard.
Your Desired retention is 75%. Thatās why the intervals are very long.
Itās unfortunate that he seems to suggest that in the video, because FSRS has no model for near-term memory. Blanking out your steps and deferring to FSRS is not recommended for most users. See: Reddit - Heart of the internet .
Youāll be better off with AnKingās first suggestion (and the manualās suggestion), which is to set 1 short learning and relearning step. If you want help figuring out the right length for your step ā use the Helper add-on Step Stats/Recommendations.
the last image is the one with no review history
and yes iāve clicked on āoptimizeā on all decksā¦ is this not how it should be done?
also: the learning steps, should they be 1m10m & relearning 10m? like before?
my desired retention is 90% or even higher. The 75% is the recommended when clicking āoptimizeā. What should I write as my desired retention? (obv iād like to remember >90%)
I added 10m relearning & 10 in learning new cards. However when I save& close then open again the 10m in learning new cards section disapears.
If you suggested this add-on then I just added it: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/759844606 & also read the extensive explanation but couldnāt understand how this add-on helps me figure out my learning steps.
can someone please help me ASAP as i want to continue studying my cardsssss @Danika_Dakika
also what should my maximum interval be? under āadvancedā
If you want static learning steps you should enter specific values for learning steps, yeah.
Is your desired retention 90%? Or is it higher? In at least one of the images you shared, it is neither of those (itās 75%).
If youād like to remember 90% of your material, your desired retention would be 90% by definition.
There is a longer explanation in the AnKing video that you mentioned having watched (I believe in the second half). The add-on can help suggest learning steps for you; it is debatable how much benefit there is and I might softly suggest that itās likely not going to produce enough benefit to be worth the amount of time youāre spending on it, tbh.
You may have more than one preset, and/or need to save to all subdecks. If you have more than one preset (which is common), changing this setting on a single preset will have no effect on other decks that do not share this preset.
Multiple people responded to your post yesterday, and you are following up today. People are actively helping you. Thatās what this thread is. 
Doesnāt terribly matter (much). 1-3 years, somewhere in there. Or put it at 100 years. Itās the least of your worries atm
Hi,
first of all thank you for taking the time to respond to every question!
If you want to use the suggested retention rate, you can use 75%. If you want a desired retention of 90%, you can use 90%. I think we discussed this above
Or 95%
If those are the settings you want, thatās fine. It looks like we also mentioned this before as well
This is because you have left your learning steps blank, also covered above, and because you have parameters which are optimized to something:
You can reset the parameters and it should return the intervals to default/ānormalā values
The parameters in that image are the FSRS default params.
