Because of the Remind algorithm, that's impossible. Supposing you
had something like this:
REM TODO Wednesday COMPLETE-THROUGH 2025-08-20 MSG Take out trash
Then in Agenda Mode, it would have to display a reminder for the
tasks that were completed on:
2025-08-20
2025-08-13
2025-08-06
... all the way back to the beginning of time. Which, as the man page
clearly states, is 1990-01-01. :)

Simple fix:
FSET done_y(y) date(y, 12, 31)
FSET done_ym(y, m) date(y, m, daysinmon(m, y))
REM TODO 27 +5 COMPLETE-THROUGH [done_ym(2025, 8)] MSG Pay %"Water bill%"
REM TODO Jan 31 +15 COMPLETE-THROUGH [done_y(2025)] MSG Pay %"Property tax%"

Thanks! Yeah, sitting down and thinking for a bit, and then realizing
that the only task-related thing I've ever been asked for was to have
Remind continue reminding about something after the trigger date
really helped to clarify what I should do. Glad you like it!

Dianne.
