When using the SM-2 scheduler, overdueness is determined by comparing how
overdue cards are, and how long their interval is. For example, a card with a

#### Learning and Re-learning Steps

(Re)learning steps of 1+ days are not recommended when using FSRS. The main
reason they were popular with the old SM-2 scheduler is because repeatedly
failing a card after learning could reduce its ease a lot, leading to what
some people called "ease hell". This is not a problem that FSRS suffers from.
By keeping your learning steps under a day, you will allow FSRS to schedule
cards at times it has calculated are optimum for your material and memory.
Another reason not to use longer learning steps is because FSRS may end up
scheduling the first review for a shorter time than your last learning step,
leading to the Hard button showing a longer time than Good.
