Hi, I have been using this recently myself so I hope I can explain it
correctly

if I have a reminder for my birthday and set a leadtime of 1 e.g.
<<reminder month:8 day:12 leadtime:1 title:"my birthday" >>

this means it will show up in showReminders 1 day before the reminder
if I just use
<<showReminders>>

however if in the showReminders you put "limit" it will override the
leadtime set in the above reminder
and will show up according to the leadtime set in the showReminders
e.g.
<<showReminders leadtime:30 limit>>
will show up 30 days before the reminder instead of 1 day before.

hope this helps
