Will "Send Scheduled Reminders" set to hourly cause multiple reminder emails?

Hopefully, a very simple question.  By default, Send Scheduled Reminders is set to run daily.  We currently use it for membership renewal reminders.  However, we're about to begin using it for CiviCase notifications and I'd like it to fire more often.

If I set it to hourly, and renewal emails are set to go out based on X days until expiration, will the system send multiple renewal emails to the same member every hour of the day for which the query is true?

Sorry if this question is already answered somewhere.  I couldn't find it specifically in the docs anywhere.

it should just send it once (there is an activity log which keeps track of what reminders were sent)

However, u should test and ensure that it does things as expected

thanx
