Description of problem:

The snapper hourly cronjob just creates snapshots whereas the daily one is responsible for cleanup. This makes the TIMELINE_LIMIT_HOURLY parameter in the snapper config useless since all the hourly snapshots will be kept around until the daily job is called for cleanup. In steady state, you will have ~24 snapshots irrespective of the config. 

/etc/cron.hourly/snapper:

if [ "$TIMELINE_CREATE" = "yes" ] ; then
        snapper --config=$CONFIG --quiet create --description="timeline" --cleanup-algorithm="timeline"
    fi


/etc/cron.daily/snapper:

if [ "$TIMELINE_CLEANUP" = "yes" ] ; then
        snapper --config=$CONFIG --quiet cleanup timeline
    fi
