This issue of recurring (bi-weekly, twice per month, etc. etc. has been an issue for a very long time. I found several posts and the Quicken team keeps closing them due to "low activity" or some other nonsense as seen here below. I for one encourage everyone to create tickets for this and force Quicken to deal with this. Budgeting and forecasting is one of the main tool functions and if you cannot reliable use the budget tool to see what upcoming monthly expenses look like, then it is worthless. There are strength in numbers and I have to believe (as I've seen in threads) I am not the only one having this annoying, important issue and seeing be unresolved for years is totally unacceptable as we see our annual subscription cost going up every year.
Below non-answer from Quicken support is from January 2025. Totally unacceptable!
We are aware of an issue where customers are trying to add reminders to budgets, but those reminders are not being recorded correctly. For example—you may enter a reminder frequency of twice monthly, but the reminder only shows twice in January and once for every other month of the budget. This also happens in reverse, where adding a reminder frequency of only once creates multiple reminders.
This has been escalated internally, though we do not have an ETA at this time.
