If you’re asking about how this works with Anki/AnkiHub, here’s how it behaves:

What happens when you suspend mature cards?

  • When you suspend a card (even if it’s already mature), Anki:

    • Removes it from the review queue.
    • Keeps all its scheduling data (interval, ease, due date) saved in the background.

  • While it’s suspended:

    • It will not appear in your reviews.
    • It will not become due or “come back” on its own.

If you unsuspend later

  • When you unsuspend the card again:
    • It will re-enter your review queue using its existing scheduling data (same interval/ease).
    • Depending on how far its due date is in the past or future, Anki will schedule it as a (possibly overdue) review.
  • AnkiHub sync does not change this behavior; it just syncs card state (including suspended/unsuspended) with the shared deck.

Answer to your situation

  • You unsuspended mature cards → they started showing up again.
  • If you now suspend them again:
    • They will not come back in the future until you manually unsuspend them again.
    • When you do unsuspend later, they’ll resume from their prior schedule (possibly as overdue reviews), not as new cards.

If you can clarify whether these cards are from an AnkiHub shared deck (e.g., AnKing Overhaul via AnkiHub), I can also explain how suspending locally interacts with AnkiHub updates and tags.

instead, these came back at new card when it clearly has said that in the browse section that they arent new

Thanks for the clarification—that helps narrow it down.

If a card shows as “New” in the review queue but does not have the New flag in the Browser, there are a few likely explanations:

1. Check which deck you’re seeing them in

Sometimes cards get moved between decks or you’re doing a parent deck that includes subdecks:

  • In the Browser, select one of those cards and look at:
    • Top left: which Deck it’s in
    • The card info (right-click → “Card Info”) – check the “Type” and “Due”
  • On the main screen, confirm you’re studying the same deck (or a parent deck that includes it).

If the card was moved or you’re studying via a different deck, it can look like “new” even though it’s actually already scheduled.

2. Check if the queue is actually “New” or “Review”

On the study screen, look at the top right label:

  • If it says Review, it’s not truly a new card, even if it feels like one.

  • If it says New, but in Browse the “Type” is Review / Relearning, that’s suspicious and may indicate:

    • A custom study session (e.g., “Preview new cards” or “Study ahead”)
    • A filtered deck that’s pulling in cards in a special way

If you’re using a filtered deck or Custom Study option, those can make cards appear in unexpected ways.

3. AnkiHub-specific: check if settings changed the card state

If these cards are part of an AnkiHub shared deck (e.g. AnKing Overhaul via AnkiHub):

  1. In Anki, go to AnkiHub → Manage Subscriptions → [Your Deck]
  2. Confirm whether you’ve enabled any options like:
    • “Reset scheduling”
    • Or recently joined the deck and had cards rescheduled

A full reschedule/reset from AnkiHub (or a local reset like Set Due Date or Forget) can make previously mature cards behave as new going forward, even if some info in the Browser still reflects prior history.

4. What I’d suggest you do next

To pinpoint what’s going on, please:

  1. Open one of the problematic cards in the Browser and share:
    • What does it say for “Type” (New / Learn / Review / Relearning)?
    • What is the Due number?
  2. On the review screen for that exact card:
    • What does it say at the top (New / Review / Learning)?
  3. Confirm:
    • Are these cards from an AnkiHub deck? If yes, which one?
    • Did you recently:
      • Use “Forget” on the cards?
      • Use “Set Due Date”?
      • Re-download / re-subscribe to the deck via AnkiHub?

With that info I can tell you exactly why they came back as “new” and what you can do so they behave like mature review cards again (or how to safely suspend them without losing their progress).

Hello,

The bot’s response was spot on. If you suspend cards, they will no longer appear for review. As long as you don’t reset the cards, they will not lose their mature status. If you could send screenshots of the issue you are facing, it would help us understand the situation better.
