Why do I keep seeing "Timezone Setup Required" when trying to set reminders?

The reminder system needs to know your timezone to schedule notifications at the correct time. Set it once with `!timezone set ` (for example: `!timezone set New York` or `!timezone set I'm in London`) and you won't see this message anymore.

I set a reminder but got an error message about time format. What went wrong?

The system couldn't understand the time you specified. Try using clear time formats like: - "in 10 minutes" - "in 2 hours" - "tomorrow at 3pm" - "Friday at 9am" Short formats like "2min", "30sec", or "1hr" also work.

Can I set reminders for past times?

No. If you try to set a reminder for a time that has already passed today, the system will automatically schedule it for tomorrow instead.

How do I see all my reminders?

Use the `!reminders` command to see a list of all your active reminders with their IDs and scheduled times.

I canceled a reminder but still got the notification. Why?

If you canceled the reminder right before it was scheduled to go off, the notification may have already been queued. This happens because the system checks for due reminders every minute.

Can I change how often a repeating reminder occurs?

Not after you've created it. You'll need to cancel the existing reminder and create a new one with the frequency you want (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).

The reminder times look different from what I set. What happened?

Make sure your timezone is set correctly with `!timezone info`. The system converts all times to your local timezone for display. If you recently changed timezones, only new reminders will use the updated setting.

What does "in 2 hours and 30 minutes" mean if I set my reminder for a specific time?

This shows how much time remains until your reminder goes off. Both the specific time (like "3:30 PM EST") and the countdown are shown so you can see it both ways.

I set reminders on Discord. Will they work if I'm using Telegram?

Reminders are tied to the platform where you created them. A reminder set on Discord will send notifications to Discord, and a Telegram reminder will notify you on Telegram. They're completely separate.

Do I need to set my timezone on both Discord and Telegram?

Yes. Your timezone setting is separate for each platform, so you'll need to configure it on both if you use the bot in multiple places.

I never got my reminder notification. Where did it go?

Check these common issues: 1. Verify your timezone is set correctly with `!timezone info` 2. Make sure the reminder appears in your list with `!reminders` 3. Check that the scheduled time hasn't already passed 4. Confirm you have notifications enabled for the platform

Can I change a reminder after I've created it?

No. If you need to change the time or description, you'll need to cancel the old reminder with `!cancel ` and create a new one.

What's the difference between "tomorrow" and "in 24 hours"?

"Tomorrow" schedules the reminder for the same time tomorrow (if you don't specify a time, midnight is used). "In 24 hours" schedules it for exactly 24 hours from now, regardless of the calendar day.

Can I use natural language like "next week" or "in a few days"?

The system works best with specific time periods. Use "in 7 days" instead of "next week", and specify exact hours like "in 3 days" rather than "in a few days".

How do I set up a reminder that repeats?

When creating a reminder, include words like "daily", "weekly", "monthly", or "yearly". For example: `!remind Take medication daily at 8am`.
