Can i just practice my cards no stop

I just started Anki and i use it mostly for language review. I feel like if i spent an hour or two reviewing all / most of my cards as opposed to like 15 minutes learning 20 new words, Id get a lot more done. However, i’m well aware that i’m not very familiar with the methodology and why Anki works in such a way. Can i just ignore the limit or is there a reason I should stick to it?
