How to skip repeated failed attempts? - Raccoon - 03-28-2022

As a simple example I'm currently running something like

Code:
D:\hashcat-6.2.5>.\hashcat.exe -m 14800 myhash.txt --session foo -a 3 ?l

but for my next run I do something with

Code:
?h

but I see re-attempts at [a-z]. I remember reading somewhere that hashcat can be configured to remember prev attempts so it can skip over them but after looking all over the wiki the closest I found was the potfile which only stores solved hashes it seems
