I think the default settings are the problem.
If you are using the Anking deck for your studying....
From my experience, you'll want to start by getting a few add-ons, and then change your Anki settings to these, which are basically the Anking recommended settings.
This is a list of good add-ons you'll want to download. You can just go to "Tools" -> "Add-ons" -> "Get Add-ons" and then copy and paste each of these codes there.

If you are just looking for a set it and leave it type of setting, this has worked for me. Suspend all the cards that you are not doing, and then unsuspend as you go. If you need more help, feel free to message me and we can go over some tips on Discord or wherever.
