Have you tried the new scheduling algorithm FSRS in Anki? It would improve your experience with spaced repetition. It's also interesting how it will learn from your review logs of two years.

By default, Anki uses SM-2 algorithm, which doesn't aim for any retention level.
I recommend registering a ZhiHu account. It has countless articles like this post.
