Hi,  
i actually try to set a reminder every 3 Month after I confirm a message. The easiest method in my oppinion is to use a triger node with a delay of 2190 hours. But if i use more then 596 hours it will send the second message direct with the first one.  
Is there a reglementation for a trigger delay? Is there another easy way to delay about 3 month?

Thx in advance

Felix

The problem with this is if your node-red is restarted, the in-flight message will be lost.

I would recommend a dynamic schedule using cron-plus. It can be configured to persist to file & survive a reboot.

There are built in examples and built in help to show you how to use it.
