Hey, Im new to Anki and I have the learning steps set to: 15m 1d 4d

However, when I add a new card, the first time it comes up, I am getting the following options:  
Again (15m), Hard (12.1h), Good (1d), and Easy (7d).

I can’t figure out what is causing these intervals to show up for the cards and what I should change in my settings  
My comprehensive settings are below. If anyone can help identify the problem, I would really appreciate it!

New Cards  
Learning Steps: 15m 1d 4d  
Graduating Interval: 4  
Easy Interval: 8  
Insertion Order: Random

Lapses  
Relearning Steps: 10m  
Minimum Interval: 1d  
Leech Threshold: 8  
Leech Action: Tag Only

Advanced  
Maximum Interval: 36500  
Starting Ease: 2.50  
Easy Bonus: 1.30  
Interval Modifier: 1.00  
Hard Interval: 1.20  
New Interval: 0.00

Please see the definition for Hard. [Studying - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/studying.html#learningrelearning-cards)

Easy is likely 7 days due to fuzz. [Studying - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/studying.html#fuzz-factor)
