How to recover a lost anki streak

Word for word copy paste of what fixed my issue. Original post

btw i had to create a seperate Custom Study for cards i had forgotten, i set it to 1 day, did one review and followed from step 7

Happened to me as well, idk why. But there is a way to cheat streaks:

  1. Check what was the date when you broke your streak, aka the date of that day when you had 0 reviews
  2. Turn Anki off
  3. Disable “Set time automatically” in Windows (assuming you’re using Windows)
  4. Manually set the date to that date when you missed a review
  5. Turn the Internet connection off (or just unplug your cable)
  6. Turn Anki on, do at least 1 review, turn Anki off again
  7. Enable “Set time automatically”, turn the Internet connection on
  8. Turn Anki on and you’ll see that it counts as if you really did a review on that day
