I open a chart and go to chart settings and for "number of days to load" select "1" and get the following result:
......

It appears to be downloading a bunch of 1 days, but I want only 1 one day.

That setting does not control the amount of days downloaded from the data service.

This is explained here:

You need to adjust the Maximum Historical Intraday Days to Download setting:
