For some reason they're very picky about how you deal with them. If you just dismiss the reminder, it'll pop back up at the same time the next day even if it was only a one time reminder. But if you mark it as done, it'll go away completely even if you set it to remind you every day. I missed a dose of my antidepressant that way once lol, I told it to remind me every day, marked it as done after the first time, and then it never reminded me again
I've tried to understand google's reminders for like a decade. I have one weekly reminder that works for me and I'm afraid of adding any new reminders for fear of breaking that one important reminder.
I personally switched to setting events in google calendar and then setting notifications for them, that seems to work for me. Except for my medicine, I use a dedicated app for that, since it does stuff like reminding me to refill something when it starts to get low
i set some google reminders once and the same ones fire off every day.
every.
day.
