The span is specified in the search. It is span=1d
That is the minimum span that we can specify

for the search macro, the span value is passed as an argument. There are two possible values: 1d and 7d.
The problem is when span=1d

If you do not want to mess around with xml, you could enforce span size for timechart.

For example:

... | timechart span=1h ...
