We're missing some labels which are apparently too long:

Enabling "Show Labels" on the Viz doesn't help and there seems to be no option to decrease the font size.

How can we display the labels?

Yes there is no option to minimise the size of label, you need to expand the size of your visualization on dashboard which will make lables visible.

My labels CUSTOMERS or MACHINES are not very long. At the very least it should be possible to have a tooltip. Better would be to scale the text, allow the user to do this, or show it cropped.

As you can see below in blue - my text would actually fit:
