Fixed intervals

The main type of interval is the fixed interval. Fixed intervals are ideal for hourly, daily, or reminders repeating at any other fixed amount of time.
You can create fixed interval reminders via the dashboard or via the /remind command. When you have filled out the "time" and "content" on the command, press tab. Select the "interval" option. Then, write the interval you wish to use: for example, "1 day" for daily (starting at the time specified in "time").

Daylight savings

If you live in a region that uses daylight savings (DST), then your interval reminders may become offset by an hour due to clock changes.
Reminder Bot offers a quick solution to this via the /offset command. This command moves all existing reminders on a server by a certain amount of time. You can use offset to move your reminders forward or backward by an hour when daylight savings happens.

Monthly/yearly intervals

Monthly or yearly intervals are configured the same as fixed intervals. Instead of a fixed time interval, these reminders repeat on a certain day each month or each year. This makes them ideal for marking calendar events.

Interval expiration

An expiration time can also be specified, both via commands and dashboard, for repeating reminders. This is optional, and if omitted, the reminder will repeat indefinitely. Otherwise, the reminder will be deleted once the expiration date is reached.
