Review Card Count Higher than actual number of cards in deck

[Dmattvilla]

I am reviewing 1,500 cards on a 500 card daily. I recently updated Anki so I don’t know if it’s a feature but I don’t like and want it. I want it to just count the actual number of reviewed cards and new cards that I actually got done. Any suggestions?

HUMBLE PIE: “distinct cards studied today” statistic

If you want both numbers, here is an edit:

#This Anki 2.0 addon modifies the main window "Studied X cards today" message.
#Originally, Anki counts repeated cards in this statistic.
#This addon changes it so only distinct cards are counted.

#
#Code rationale:
#Each card has a unique ID assigned to it, called the cid.
#"Distinct" is a type of SQL command that tell the program that from the data it counts,
#exclude redundant things from whatever second column you chose (in this case, cid).
#Search "revlog" in the Anki manual to learn more.
