I get the impression that Minimum Interval doesn’t work.  
I set for lapses:  
Relearning steps - 5m 15m 3d  
Minimum interval - 10d  
New interval - 0,10

According to this I should have 10d as Good on this card:

This is with V3 scheduler enabled.

Do you have default settings?  
Can you try my settings and confirm if it still works?

It works for me. Did you change the settings while cards were already in relearning?

sorry, late reply.

yes i have modified my settings.

i see that you already got an answer. one thing you should know is that:

> Deck Options are not _retroactive_  
> source: [Deck Options - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html?#presets)

meaning that if you edit the options of the deck, the cards which are already in the (re-)learning/review process will _ **not** _ follow the new settings.
