When I rechedule via FSRS Helper at the end of the day, it gives lower load for tomorrow and bigger load for the day after tomorrow (~300 and ~380 for comparison). Then when I finish my reviews the next day, the initial load for tomorrow stays the same or gets bigger (e.g. ~400), but when I reshedule again via FSRS Helper tomorrow’s load becomes way smaller again: ~300.  
Here’s the question. Should I keep recheduling at the end of the day or should I actually leave it as it is? Which method is more beneficial?

Also a side question. It was said that the next release will have load balancer built-in by default, but as of 25.07.2 built-in rechedule and Helper rechedule still differ drastically: backlog of 144 against backlog of 17. Is it correct?

If that action adds a reschedule entry to each of your card, your collection size will grow and FYI AnkiWeb has a upper limit on how much your collection size can be if you’re to sync it.

There is a load-balancer in recent versions yes.

No.

You’re just moving cards around like deck chairs within their fuzz ranges. There’s no need to reschedule (by _either_ method) when nothing has changed for those cards.

Then why the difference is still so big?

Probably because they use different methods?
