It might be a simple matter of lowering the max # of review cards or the max # of new cards. Also, given that you mentioned enjoying duolingo more, there are browser extensions/repos out there to enhance the Anki experience. I have some that help me make cards based on material I’m reading for fun. I was having the same issue as you, and I had to fix it by making it more engaging and personal. Now all of my words concern material I’m interested in, and have some context.

Any specific ones you wanna give a shout out to?

I use yomichan and mokuro for my system, which I believe are Japanese focused. But I’m sure there are equivalents for other popular languages
