This plugin will automatically send email reminders for Moodle calendar events in a timely manner.
Reminders are very useful for both students as well as teachers to recall their scheduled events and activities before the actual moment.
Latest Feature (with plugin v2.5)
- The plugin provides a way to customize the email header/footer with desired HTML content! This means now you can add your site branding to those email reminders too. (See updated screenshots)
New Features: (in v2+ which works in Moodle 3.5 or above)
- Ability to send reminders after event completed for overdue students
- Ability to enable/disable and schedule reminders per activity
- Explicitly reminder enables: By default no reminders will be sent unless teachers enable them in course level.
- Reminder email messages when calendar event created/changed/removed
- Prevent sending more email reminders once a student has completed the activity
- Added timezone/location to the email due dates
- Support for course category events
- Ability to customize email header/footer with the branding of the site
- Additional cron task to clean old reminder data
- Send reminders only to students who can submit the assignment
- Supports site, course, activity, user, and group calendar events
- Ability to customize the reminder schedule globally
- Ability to customize enable/disable reminders per course
- Ability to select reminders eligible user roles per calendar event type
Prerequisite for plugin v1.5.1 or prior:
- Your moodle site must enable logging to make the plugin work properly.
- The Cron job should be enabled
- Cron job should not be lagged to send reminders for custom schedules which has tight schedules.
Note: Please report any issue or feature request at https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-reminders-for-calendar-events by specifying reproducible steps, cron logs (scheduled task logs), and affected moodle + plugin versions.

Cheers!
Sorry if I am answering too late. But upgrading 1.5 -> 2.5 is a huge upgrade and within those versions, the plugin has supported this overdue activities feature.
I think you could have disable overdue reminders during the upgrade where it asks in a page to confirm all new plugin settings. This could have avoided your situation and later once upgrade is completed, it could have been enabled again.
Anybody else experinced this?
Could you please let me know which Moodle and plugin versions are you using?
If you could reproduce this easily, could you please raise a bug with the steps in here. So, that I could look into when releasing the next patch. https://github.com/isuru89/moodle-local_reminders/issues
Thanks
Have you enabled activity completion under this assignment settings? This must be enabled to be eligible for not receiving reminders after an assignment is submitted. Otherwise, everyone will get a reminder email.
Thanks for getting back and explaining the requirement of having activity completion enabled. I don't have activity completion enabled, so that explains why the reminders are sent. I've disabled the sending of overdue reminders for the time being.
Thank you for your feedback.
Would you be able to raise a github ticket as a feature request, so that I can allocate my time and see if I could work.
