Description

Problem: When using the load balancing option it creates an even distribution of future due cards like it is supposed to do. Those cards however can come from decks with vastly different average answer times.

So even though there is an even amount of cards due every day, the workload (measured in minutes) can still differ greatly from day to day.

Possible Solution: When rescheduling, take the average answer time of the corresponding deck of the card into account.

This would create a more balanced load (measured time wise). Altough the number of cards would not be thr same each day any more.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the current load balance implementation in FSRS4Anki Helper to understand how cards are distributed, and investigate how average answer times per deck are stored in Anki's database. Consider modifying the scheduling logic to weight card distribution by average answer time.
