Another thing to note is the automatic backups per schedule wont happen if you have Timeshift open for some reason. You must leave Timeshift closed. Also, the hourly always happen on the hour, so you will need to wait for an hour to pass + whatever was remaining for the current hour. So if the time was 9:23, your first hourly backup would be at 11:00. The reboot schedule also seems to have a delay on it so if you reboot and immediately open Timeshift you wont see any snapshot.
