[slm] Snapshots are just ignored when scheduled, but manual _execute works

exact same problem for us on an elastic/kibana 7.15.8 cluster
cron jobs are not fired; snapshots are never created nor shown as failed, nothing in logs.

Manual execution of the policies works

GET _slm/policy/hourly-snapshots
{
  "hourly-snapshots" : {
    "version" : 4,
    "modified_date_millis" : 1672400363794,

  }
