If you're taking requests, then can the Y axis start at zero, please?

And what is going on with that Y axis? There is no consistent spacing between the marks!

It's a bit hard for a log axis to start at zero.

Well start it at 0.00001 then. There's no need for a log axis, as all the values are within 2 orders of magnitude of each other - between 1 and 100. They will fit better, and will no longer be distorted, on a linear Y axis starting from zero.

Good to hear.

Seconds was my best guess .. but that doesn't make it certain for the viewer.

No real drama, but FWiW I've looked at a lot of data across engineering, math, geophysics, mining, energy, etc and unlabeled data and graphs are a major annoyance.

Thank you! Was about to ask for axis labels as well. I assumed seconds but I had some doubts because there were no labels!

I wouldn't bother. It is super obvious.
