Weekend delay functionality questions

[Ririshi]

I've installed the app earlier this week and before I go on, I'd like to say a big thank you for developing this. I recently started meds for a chronic problem and have been looking for a good app to track my usage. The quality of this app is really high. It's the only app I've found so far that supports the interval reminders I wanted to use. Rather than forcing myself into a fixed rhythm just to take meds, why not adapt my meds to my natural rhythm? And it's FOSS, I'm a sucker for FOSS. I'm invested now, and stopped looking for other options.

Now onto my actual questions. I just had my first experience with the weekend mode delay today. Normally, my first reminder is set to 7:00. I had my notifications delayed until 9:00. The alarm I set up with the reminder went off at 9:07, which I figured is just the non-exact mode doing its job. I snoozed it once and when it came back, I responded with "taken".

When I opened the app, though, it was showing two entries for this first dose: the original dose reminder at 7:00, now marked as taken at 9:15, and a second reminder event at 9:00. I ended up marking the second one as skipped and then deleting the event. I have my follow up reminders set with intervals, so the next reminder was still correctly created at 12:45 (3.5 hrs after the first dose).

I'm just wondering why there were two entries for the first dose, and is it harmless to leave the second one "unanswered"? Was it just to indicate the dose normally is taken at 7:00 but got delayed until the alarm went off at 9:00? Does the second entry affect my analysis page?

It's great that the app satisfies your needs, I appreciate your feedback!

The weekend mode should postpone every reminder to the indicated time, so if you have one reminder set to 7:00 and one to 9:00, it would trigger both at 9:00. This is the case for time based reminders, but since you are using interval reminders, there might also be a bug present... If you describe your setup, I could investigate.

Deleted reminders do not count towards the analysis, so you should be safe here.

I have one reminder set for 7:00. The other ones are interval reminders set at 3.5 hours after the previous dose, so it's 7:00 + 3:30 + 3:30 + 3:30.

So on the weekends, I'd expect that first one to go off at (around) 9:00, which it did. But the interface then showed two entries as described in my OP. I can try to see if it happens again tomorrow morning and take a screenshot.

@Ririshi have you been able to reproduce the issue?

[Ririshi]

No, it hasn't happened since the first time. I did move the alarm to even later because I wanted to sleep in a bit more, but it also didn't happen again this weekend. Maybe the first time around, I mistook the next scheduled reminder for one that was planned for the same time?

Edit: reading my OP again, that doesn't seem likely, since the next scheduled one was apparently at 9:00
