Hi everyone,

Currently using Anki 2.1.53. I am trying to set my learning interval for my deck to be 10m (again), 1d (hard), 3d (good), and 5d (easy).

My problem is that my cards display different learning intervals. See this for example:

The subsequent card will show 10m, 1d, 3d, 7d. The next card is something different, and so on.

My settings are as follows:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The hard interval cannot be deliberately set: it’s calculated based on the current step (=“good-interval”). So delete that 1d between 10m and 3d.

For clarification, see [Hard Interval](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html?highlight=hard#hard-interval) and [Learning Steps](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html?highlight=steps#learning-steps)

Also, you cannot set multiple easy intervals. Either choose 5d or 7d.

If you changed the learning steps while cards were already in learning, they may skip or repeat a step.
