Pricing system for increased storage limit

Anki Suggestions
1

I’ve been using Anki for quite some time now for school and language learning.

After a few years of use, my storage is starting to approach the 250MB limit. I’ve already deleted unused data and done some cleanup, but the size is still increasing since I need to keep adding more cards to keep up with school progress.

Since the last post I found on this issue is more than two years old, I’d like to know if there’s currently any indication that Anki will provide a paid service for increased storage capacity, as mentioned in the Anki FAQs:

“As the usage of Anki and AnkiWeb increases, at some point a pricing system may be introduced where basic, low-capacity accounts are free and heavier users can pay more for more space”.

Also, is there any idea of how much such a service would likely cost, including outside the US, if it were introduced?

I would like to use as much space in Anki as I want. When will there be a price setting for this, so that I don’t have to install similar apps on my phone.

If you reach the limit you can use a Self-hosted server built into Anki to replace AnkiWeb without any limit. If you are unsure how to use the console or docker for advanced users, here is my add-on to make it easier to use this self-hosted server. addon: :globe_with_meridians:Local Anki Server - Use self-hosted server with Wifi (Created by Shigeඞ) The local server is very fast for forced synchronization uploads and downloads (it’s almost instantaneous) so I recommend it if you are editing a lot of cards.

It is not about ‘fastness’, it is about not being able to synchronize: on my iphone I get the message ‘Your collection file is too large to send to AnkiWeb. You can reduce its size by removing any unwanted decks’. Why would I create any unwanted decks??? I need all the decks.

If you’ve hit the size limit, you might need to think about whether you’re actively studying all of your decks. Are there limits on file sizes on AnkiWeb? - Anki FAQs

You can also check if there are other issues in your collection that are affecting the size – Constant Errors Uploading / Sync - #4 by Danika_Dakika .

And clean up any unused media to be sure you’re making good use of server space. Media - Anki Manual
