Sanoid is someone opinionated about the snapshot intervals. You might find something like zfsnap easier. That is available as a package if you happen to be using Debian/Ubuntu.

Automatic container snapshots? cv4pve or zfs for a small homelab?
From my research, I can see two options: - Proxmox specific cv4pve-autosnap - generic zfs-auto-snapshot, available in repos

Some Proxmox Backup, Snapshot and Storage questions
Since Proxmox natively supports ZFS, you could that to make your snapshots. You can do automatic snapshots with zfs-auto-snapshot or for VMs with cv4pve-autosnap.

zfs hourly snapshot - snapshot naming interpretation needed
If you're using zfs-auto-snapshot (and it looks like you are), note that the timestamps are always in UTC, not your local timezone. Is your timezone somewhere around UTC-12:00?

Another option to look at (again, 3rd part stuff, not vanilla zfs hold/release stuff) is zfs-auto-snapshot which takes (and retains) n snapshots based on how you run it. See: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs-auto-snapshot
