# Reminders

> Post recurring or one-off messages on a schedule, with day and time-of-day windows.

Scheduled messages. Weekly event announcements, daily rule reminders, a one-off notice at a set time.

## Limits

| Starter | Basic | Max       | Black     |
| ------- | ----- | --------- | --------- |
| 3       | 15    | Unlimited | Unlimited |

## Timezone — read this first

<Warning>
  **A reminder's schedule is captured from the timezone of the browser you create it in.** There is no timezone control on this page.

  If you create a reminder at home and later edit it while travelling, or a co-admin in another country edits it, **the schedule silently shifts to that browser's timezone**. The time you typed stays the same; the moment it fires changes.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Decide who owns the reminders on your server and have that one person make all edits, from one machine. If a reminder starts firing at the wrong hour, open it and re-save the time from the correct machine.
</Tip>

## One-off and repeating

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Once" icon="calendar">
    Fires at a specific date and time, then stops.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Repeating" icon="repeat">
    Fires on an interval — hourly through to monthly.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  A one-off reminder that has fired is **disabled, not deleted**. It stays in the list marked as completed, so you can see what ran. Delete it yourself when you no longer need the record.
</Note>

## The message

Plain text or a full embed, posted to a channel you choose. An optional role ping goes with it.

<Tip>
  If you ping a role, make it mentionable in Discord or the ping will render as plain text.
</Tip>

## Enabling and disabling

Switching a reminder off stops it firing but keeps it configured.

<Note>
  The counter next to your limit includes disabled reminders, while the server only enforces the cap on enabled ones. The number shown can therefore be higher than what actually counts against you.
</Note>

## Module toggle

<Warning>
  Reminders only run while the module is enabled in [Server Setup](/en/server-management/setup). Turning the module off pauses every reminder on the server at once — they resume, on schedule, when it is turned back on.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="It fires at the wrong time">
    Almost always the timezone capture described above. Open the reminder, re-enter the time from the machine you consider authoritative, and save.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="It never fires at all">
    Check the reminder is enabled, the Reminders module is on in Server Setup, and Vetox can send messages in the target channel.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A one-off reminder is still in the list after it ran">
    That is by design — it is kept as a record with a completed marker. Delete it if you want it gone.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The role ping shows as text instead of pinging">
    Make the role mentionable in Discord, or give Vetox **Mention Everyone**.
