Hello,
this is connected to the whole debate on flashcards ballooning that was here 3 years ago:
Have there been any updates on improving the algorithm so far?
I know SRS is about regular reviews but with work and university I am sometimes too busy on a few days to do my reviews and easily get into a situation where all the reviews pile up. The biggest issue comes in, however, when you can not keep up with the reviews anymore and there is no way for you to remember them until the next day even if you do have the time to complete them all. I currently have over 140 reviews for writing practice and with all the different Hanzi I can, at best, remember 10 to 20, and that is after having spent what feels like an eternity on reviewing all of those 140 reviews. This is very inefficient and demotivating and I'm at a point where it would be best to simply be able to unlearn all of those cards so I can start from zero again. Obviously I do not want to reset my whole score file and also not go through 140 cards, get most of them wrong, anyway, simply to be able to somehow catch them all in a search and reset those specific cards. The card search function does not allow to search for "correct/incorrect in row" either unlike the card filters for tests which would be more adequate than simply the number of incorrect views.
How do you deal with old flashcards in the review pool that you have forgotten completely and now fill up your reviews?

Stop flashcards from ballooning
I know this has been discussed before by people who understand it better than I do, but I feel it needs to be said again. I know that spaced-repetition does not work well if reviews are neglected, but what really does not work well is if the system wants you to review so many cards that you...
