Interesting, their join dates on WaniKani and the Community Forums are not the same. Import error, perhaps?

Thatās when they joined the forums. Look at their WK profile instead, as Dwarsen did
Shouldnāt those dates be the same, though?
EDIT: Well I guess mineās one day off, soā¦
Still, Iām impressed! I guess the SRS hasnāt done itās magic on me yet. Most of the time Iām still likeā¦ah! I remember this! or do I? Ah itās the evening mouthā¦mouthā¦eveningā¦mouthā¦what the hellā¦ah yes, everyone knows itsā¦name!
I believe the forum join date is now the first time you accessed the new Discourse forums

Hehe, yes - as @Dwarsen and @Kumirei pointed out, my actual WK join date was last November.
March is when my forum profile got set up. Since I hadnāt posted anything on the old forums at all, that happened when I took a gander at the new forums after they popped into existence (March 7th?). I think thatās how it works anyway.

Yeah, usually I type nonsense if I canāt get the right answer in about 10 seconds.
Only 66?! Whatās your secret? Is this a high-level thing?
Itās just a fluke of the numbers. If you extend the timeline to 2 days, the number is about 300 for the next 2 days. You have days with more than average and days with less than average. But people tend to remember and share the high numbers, but not the low numbers, so I thought Iād toss it out there.

The warnings about keeping your apprentice items low is for people that end up accumulating too much, which usually happens much later. Looking at my Wanikani statistics I started having problems managing all my reviews around level 23. For now youāre fine busting through as fast as you want, but when you start having a ton of reviews and you keep getting things wrong because youāre pushing the amount of space your brain is willing to commit to kanji, thatās when itās good to start breaking up your lesson piles.
Thank you! Sounds kinda obvious, now that you say it. xD
I still hope Iāll be able to get them all done ASAP. I donāt mind getting things wrong, because itāll only be the first two answers, tops. Besides, the system expects me to also make mistakes, right? Iām not sure how prejudicial it is (I trust the learning system blindly)
I feel like I have to go through higher levels to get it. xD I just canāt imagine it getting much more worse. Wahaha
I mean, the gurus will stay in the same amount, right? And master, enlightened and burned shouldnāt bother that much, right? They take longer to show up. So, unless the amount of lessons increase greatly or I take too much trouble into learning some kanji or wordsā¦ it should be alright? Iām clueless xD
I think this is suffering from anticipation though
The reason called ālowly Apprenticeā.
Donāt do all / too many Apprentice 1 or 2 at once, because it will come back in 8 hours / 1 day.
Do too many lessons at once and it will come back in 4 hours.
(Apprentice 3 ā 2 days)
This is also the reason why you should keep Apprentice pile low; perhaps below 150-200.
Also, for this reason, I find descending sort by SRS helpful (as long as leeches donāt KILL U). Mistakes in Guru / Master will fall to Apprentice

In answer to your question.
My Answer would be āYESā.
I didnāt like having TONS of reviews on some days and almost NO reviews on other days, so while i do all the radicals and a bunch of the kanjis right off the bat (and the rest of the kanji within the next day), i spread out the vocab lessons throughout the rest of the 7 days that Iām on the level. That way, I typically have a pretty constant number of reviews from day to day. It doesnāt slow down my level up time, and I donāt get slammed with 3-400 reviews in a day.
Although, since I wasnāt willing to sacrifice other parts of my life to handle the increase in reviews due to 3.5 level up times after level 46, Iām now intentionally slowing my pace to maintain the old 7 day level up times.

No, he means that if you do a huge chunk of reviews all together, then they will come back again as a huge chunk. So in the next 24 hours, heās looking at 400 reviews, which sucks.
Hereās an update, guys 
My apprentice items managed to peak off at a little over 220 o.O
Several days of hell later:

Four months and Iām at Level 14 because of binge lessons and reviews ā¦ Well, not quite. I basically do the reviews soon after they become available. If it tells me to wait 30 min, 1, 2, or more hours, then I set an alarm and do them then. Now, if the reviews interrupt my sleep schedule, Iāll save them for when I wake up. Sleep is priceless bro. Itād be very unlikely for me to set an alarm at 3am just to do some reviews.
Iām the same. I donāt try to have more than 100 apprentice items.
