Question of auto delete snapshot

[Harry49528]

Hello, I am new to NetApp and currently I am trying to create a snapshot schedule. Reading some docs, it says that the auto delete will be triggered if it reach the snapshot reserve (trigger is in snap_reserve). However, I can always find there is Snapshot Overflow. And therefore, I wonder will the auto delete be triggered if the number of copies not reaching its maximum. For examples, if a volume is set a daily snapshot with 5 maximum copies, will it auto delete if the size of snapshot is more that snapshot reserve on the third day?

Not if there is enough space in the volume/aggregate to contain the data and snapshots.
