I could reproduce this in 6.4.0 the problem seems to be that the APM UI always sets the time picker to 24 hours

From the Kibana team:

not possible. there is no shared time range state between apps. That's also why the build in apps don't transfer their time state when switching (e.g. if you switch from visualize to timelion, you will see that the state will be lost)
in fact visualize/discover/management are all in the same app (kibana) why they share the state

We should wait for the new Timepicker plugin and see if that resolves: #18845

Closed since there is not much we can do about this atm.
