I have set up an action to e-mail the author of an item of content when their content has expired. I can't find any way of limiting the number of notifications sent though, so one notification is sent every 45 minutes, which will drive my contributors mad - I need to send one e-mail per item of content every two weeks.

What am I doing wrong? Please help!! :o)

(The first person who fixes this crucial issue for me will get a nice £5 donation in their PayPal account by way of thanks :o)

I think this is related to issue #435560: Nodes don't expire on cron run, see my comment and let me know if that helps with your issue.

Same issue here. Has anyone figured out how to only have one notification sent rather than every time cron runs?

I ended up switching back to Date module + Rules for the added flexibility offered with Date module. I was able to solve the cron problem by reading these tutorials. The same procedures may also work with Node Expire + Rules (it is a bit complex but worth the time to figure it out):
