Does anyone know how to turn off persistent text notification in Oreo?

I can't focus with my phone nagging me about the same text over and over again.  I like one notification and done.  Anyone have a fix for this?

1. From your device’s Settings, tap Accessibility > Notification reminder.
2. Slide the switch to the off position.

Weird notification reminder is not under accessibility for me.  I'm running an update now.  Hopefully, that will allow the feature to reveal itself.
Negative ghostrider.
You need to disable "the message app displaying over other apps” .

For details, read the link below.

app displaying over other apps Is called app overlay in previous version of Android OS.
This will fix my SMS text messages repetitive notifications issue?
What do you mean by the same text over and over again?

Do you mean you remove the notification and it appears again?

Do you open the text message at all to read it?
i dont open it.  I wait until I complete whatever I am doing.  Then I open it.  It insists on buzzing me periodically to remind of the text ever since the update.  I heard it the first time.  One and done.  Where is the setting for that?
