A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
No minimum resolution is set, and the same chart plots points further apart once an analyst zooms out. Where does the display resolution come from?

Why D
Splunk documents that when it renders charts, Splunk Observability Cloud defaults to a display resolution based on the time range of the chart.
