I have ES installed on your cloud enterprise service. Previously there was a snapshot tab that yo could choose how frequently to create snapshots (and there was a max limit of the total amount of snapshots you could have).

Now that the snapshot UI is within kibana itself, there is no such limit. So can I have it create a snapshot every 30 mins and keep them for 30 days for example?

You should still have access to the instance snapshot page at `https://cloud.elastic.co/deployments/YOUR_INSTANCE_ID/elasticsearch/snapshots` that contains this.

I've seen that page, but once I try and chnage anything, I get sent to Kibana and I can set the numbers to whatever I'd like

Yeah, I was surprised to see that too. Any suggestion? Is there any limit anymore?

I can't see anything documented, but will ask around.
