Reading: What are AnkiHub's "recommended settings"?

I understand you’re experiencing an issue with the learn ahead feature after installing AnkiHub/AnKing. Let me help troubleshoot this problem.

The Issue

When you press “Again” on a card with a 10-minute interval, the card disappears and doesn’t reappear after 10 minutes, only showing up when you create a custom study session.

Possible Explanation

This behavior is likely related to the Learn Ahead Limit setting that AnkiHub modifies when you use its “recommended settings”. According to AnkiHub’s documentation, their recommended settings change the Learn Ahead Limit from the default 20 minutes to 0 minutes.

When the Learn Ahead Limit is set to 0, Anki will strictly wait for the full delay to pass before showing learning cards again, instead of showing them early when there’s nothing else to study.

How to Fix This

You’ll need to adjust your Learn Ahead Limit in Anki’s preferences:

  1. Open Anki
  2. Go to Tools → Preferences (or press Ctrl+P)
  3. Click on the Review tab
  4. Find the Learn ahead limit setting
  5. Change it back to 20 minutes (or your preferred value)
  6. Click Save

This should restore the behavior you’re expecting, where cards will show up again after their scheduled time if there’s nothing else to study.

Why This Happens

AnkiHub’s recommended settings change the Learn Ahead Limit to 0 to ensure cards appear exactly at their scheduled times. While this can provide more precise spacing, it also means cards won’t appear until their full delay has passed, which can be confusing if you’re used to Anki’s default behavior.
