As a new user, I’m shocked to read about people completing 100 lessons in a day. I wonder if I misunderstand. Does ‘lesson’ refer to a set of items or a single item? That is, if i click the lessons button and am presented with a set of five new kanji, does this set constitute one lesson or five?

One new item is a lesson! But 100 lessons in a day seems like a recipe for a future nightmare of reviews

When you click new lesson you are usually met with a batch of 5 lessons. 1 Lesson = 1 Item.
100 Lessons a day is exceptionally fast in my opinion… You should find what pace is comfortable for you so you don’t accidentally do too many lessons and end up with too many reviews to handle.
I personally have a hard limit on 125 apprentice items. 100 lessons would be 80% of my max apprentice items in one day

100 lessons in a day is definitely not a consistent thing - for one you’d run out of lessons very fast since levels take ~4 days minimum and come with about 150 lessons each (and only 60 or so available straight away).
Maybe you’re mixing it up with reviews?

Thanks to all for confirming what I hoped was true!

I don’t think anyone is doing 100 lessons per day. Maybe you mean reviews?
Lesson adds new item into your review queue, people realisticaly do 5-30 lessons per day. Each past lesson than generates around 10-15 reviews in the future. Over time, you will get hundreds of reviews per day.
Basically, one item - lesson,
I personally set my daily lessons to 15, but I find myself going over a bit more than usual,
I learnt around 40 new items today for example, and I find the reviews personally to be fine,
mainly because most of them were vocabulary words which I already know thanks to learning the kanji readings!
I’d say, it’s always about what pace you find suitable for you, and experiment with what you find comfortable!
However when I do feel I go a bit overboard I just stop! It’s not always good to study a lot in one sitting, can get confusing very easily.
