This morning, automatically the FSRS helper addon was updated. I am using Version ⁨23.12.1 (1a1d4d54)⁩, FSRS helper of 2024-09-25. I use both new card limits and review card limits in my desks. What happens today is that it doesn’t add any new cards. When I manually increase the new card limit with the custom study feature, it adds review cards instead. How can I fall back here? ---

I just updated Anki to the latest version 24.06.3 (for some reason I was not automatically informed about new updates). But the problem remains. The example deck has 0 new, 0 learning, 20 to review, and 10307 available new cards. When I increase the new card limit by 2 cards using “custom study”, afterwards it has 0 new, 0 learning, 22 to review. I expected 2 new, 0 learning, 20 to review. Also, no new cards from the queue appear in the beginning, it should be 4, which is the new cards limit. ---

It sounds like you have a backlog of overdue cards. If you’re setting an extremely low daily Review limit, that’s not much of a surprise. When you have a significant backlog, that’s not a good time to be introducing _more_ cards to your studying. > [@Joachim](#): > > (for some reason I was not automatically informed about new updates) Update notifications are pushed out rarely, and only for specific versions/reasons.

I found the problem. I had switched off the “new cards ignore review limit” in one of my presets, and the option was switched off globally on all of my presets, presumably because this is a global flag in disguise. So it is a user interface misbehaviour, but now I know what to do at least. ---

And yet, in the “small print” hidden in some help page, it indeed says that this is a global option. ---

It’s not very small or very hidden. You can find that out by hovering to see what the global-setting icon means, or by opening the tooltip for that setting. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/e/2/e2e3fd729e5b47590de4f0ae4a421d657802f89c.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/a/7/a734457aa27e2631a0fd2091f6c7a62b7a95e0bc.png) ---
