Going into Disk Utility, and selecting View > (Show/Hide) APFS Snapshots I got a list. The most recent one on my system was called "com.apple.TimeMachine.2023-07-15-131420.local". I right-clicked on it and changed "2023-07-15-131420.local" to "foo" and, after a warning, it renamed it (only the com.apple seems to be mandatory):

Running "tmutil listlocalsnapshots /" the new "foo" named one shows up.
Various CLI stuff that can be done:

- abathur 3y agoI don't think this affects localsnapshots expiring, though. Also, apfs.util has a flag for restoring a snapshot (but I haven't been able to figure out the syntax).
