Reminders

Members set reminders with /remind-me and Cloudy pings them at the right time in the channel they picked. The dashboard only sets the boundaries; the reminders themselves are created by members.

Duration limits

Minimum duration

0–3600 seconds (1 h) · default 5

The shortest time ahead a reminder can be scheduled for. The default of 5 seconds exists so /remind-me with 1s does not fire before the confirmation message renders.

Raise it if members are using reminders as a chat toy rather than a tool.

Maximum duration

1–365 days · default 365

The furthest ahead a reminder may be scheduled.

Behaviour

Max active per user

0–100 · default 0 (Unlimited)

How many pending reminders each member may have at once. 0 means unlimited.

A limit of 10–20 is a reasonable guard against someone queuing hundreds of reminders. Members hitting the limit are told to cancel one first.

Max delivery attempts

1–20 · default 3

How many times the bot tries to deliver a reminder before giving up on it.

Delivery fails when the target channel was deleted or the bot lost permission to post in it. Cloudy checks for due reminders every 30 seconds, so a failed attempt is retried on the next check; after the last one the reminder is dropped rather than retried forever. If Discord itself cannot be reached (an outage, not a refusal), nothing is counted — but a reminder that still cannot be delivered a day after its time is dropped as well.

Three is right for transient failures. Raising it does not help with permanent ones — a deleted channel stays deleted.

Commands

The duration is a number plus one unit: 30s, 10m, 2h, 1d. Combinations like 1h30m are not accepted. The channel must be a text channel the member can see and write in — and so must Cloudy: /remind-me refuses a channel where the bot cannot post, instead of accepting a reminder that could never arrive.

Behaviour notes

• Reminders are per member and per server. A member cannot see or cancel anyone else's.
• Reminders are delivered publicly in the chosen channel, with a mention — not by DM. A delivered reminder is deleted right away; Cloudy keeps no history of past reminders.
• Changing the limits does not affect reminders that already exist — a reminder scheduled 300 days out still fires after you lower the maximum to 30.
• Disabling the plugin blocks the three commands; reminders that already exist are still delivered.
• Resetting the server on Server defaults deletes every pending reminder.
