cfg = 2 gives you one group of two channels.
Both of those channels have the same debounce time and are serviced by the same function.
So cfg=2 needs
addf debounce.0 base-thread
setp debounce.0.20000
net something debouncee.0.0.....
net something-else debounce.0.1....
If you wanted two groups of one channel:
cfg = 1,1
addf debounce.0 base-thread
addf debounce 1 base-thread
setp debounce.0.time 100
setp debounce.1.time 20000
net something debounce.0.0......
net something-else debounce.1.0....
The reason that your current HAL doesn't do anything is that you are connecting the home-filtered and limit-filtered to debounce outputs, but you are not then connecting the signals to any motion inputs, to do anything.
Also, note that the numbers are thread cycles, so 20000 x 50,000nS (at a guess) so that is a 1s delay.

Thanks Andy,
I think I understand the basics of the "loadrt debounce cfg=1,1" vs "cfg=2" but the concepts of 'Groups' and 'Channels' are something I haven't run into before and I don't understand them or how to apply them. I do understand from your explanation that I'd want "cfg=1,1" if I'd like different delays for the Homing and the Limits. I also understand the Delay values as you explained them and tried a very broad range to see if anything changed. Obviously it didn't as I don't have things coded properly.
I copied the code you provided in your last response and get two error messages when starting LCNC.
The first one is:
LINE 129: net limit_filtered axis.0.neg−lim−sw−in axis.0.pos-lim-sw-in
Debug file information:
.
./6040.hal:129: Pin 'axis.0.neg−lim−sw−in' does not exist
21753
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components
If I comment out line 129 and start LCNC again I get the second error message:
LINE 130: net home_filtered axis.0.home-sw-in
Debug file information:
.
./6040.hal:130: Pin 'axis.0.home-sw-in' was already linked to signal 'all-limit-home'
21561
Stopping realtime threads
Unloading hal components
I suspect these errors would continue for the remaining axis.1 and axis.2 code.
Would you please look these over and help me finish getting the debounce working so I can continue with my evaluation ?
Thanks all your help so far and your efforts to edumacate me.
Jay

I made them up on the spot to try to explain the setup. Clearly I chose badly if it isn't obvious what I meant.
Somehow, somewhere, something has swapped the minus sign - for em-dashes − in that code. This might be my fault for using my Mac to reply. So, swap all the dashes for minus-signs.
It looks like you have already linked the home switches earlier in the HAL file. You need to remove the lines that begin "net all-limit-home"
