1500 due cards. What do you do when you have so many due cards?

Opened Anki. Saw 1523 due. Closed Anki. Missed 2 days because of life stuff and now the red number feels like judgment. Part of me wants to brute-force it in a 5-hour marathon. Part of me wants to reschedule everything and pretend I didn’t see it. What do you guys actually do in this situation? Do you: – clear by tags? – only do mature? – cap daily reviews? – reset the algorithm? I need something that doesn’t make me avoid opening the app entirely. Lot of these are cards I had made with Oncourse from questions I got wrong and important flashcards made by toppers.
