If I want to keep hourly snapshots for the last week, it seems the way to do this would be to set Kopia to retain 168 hourly snapshots. But I have “Ignore Identical Snapshots” turned on, which means that on most days, only a few hourly snapshots are actually saved. So retaining 168 hourly snapshots…

So based on the lack of reply, can I take it that it is not possible to retain snapshots according to their age, rather than their number?

Yeah, I would agree. There’s no control to remove snapshots older than a particular date.

Issue with retention policy
