You can't rely on a rotation cycle for automatic snapshots, as already
pointed out, to me it sometimes is important to take a snapshot one time
in two days and other times to take a snapshot ten times in 5
minutes. There neither is a default I could chose for the amount of
backups, before the earliest backup gets overwritten, neither for the
time interval when such a snapshot should be taken.
