Way to have a break on reviews or vacation mode but still allow me to complete cards?

Hello, is there a way to put a pause on new Reviews coming in but still be able to complete my current ones? With vacation mode, I can’t do reviews without turning it off. I want to clear my current reviews before any more come in.

By ‘new reviews’, I assume you mean cards which you have studied before and are about to come up in the review cycle (not totally new cards you have never seen before).

As far as I am aware there is no official way for you do do this, however, I imagine you can just turn off vacation mode, do your review session and then immediately turn on vacation mode again.

Try and time it so that you turn off vacation mode and start your session just after the start of the hour, and try to finish (and turn vacation mode on once more) before the end of that hour so no more reviews are added. This should have the effect desired, where you can go through your reviews due without adding more.

If you cannot finish all reviews due within one hour, perhaps end your session early, turn on vacation mode again and then wait till just after the start of the next hour to turn off vacation mode and resume studying.

I appreciate this is a little bit of a complex workaround, and if there is a proper way to do it which I do not know, then please do say !
