Any sync made after a change in the deck (e.g. after a review) seems to result in a full deck download. This seems to have started occurring after updating to Anki 2.1.29, but persisted after downgrading to several older versions and on another computer with Anki 2.1.26. It also occurs with the late…

Yes, please let them know - it should not be doing that. Please give me a heads up when they fix it and I’ll update the review I posted on the add-on page.
