To-day, I made a note of my alert times:

# Expected - Real
1 10:00 - 10:00
2 10:40 - 10:40
3 11:00 - 11:25
4 11:15 - 11:45
5 11:00 - 12:00

I think I know what is happening here:
At 10:45, my remind file was changed (not this particular code).
The three alerts following the timestamp change were issued at
incorrect times. The total number of alerts is as per
sched-function. The increments are derived from the sched_function:

11:25 = 40 minutes after file change
11:45 = 20 minutes later
12:00 = 15 minutes later
no further reminders
