As the subject states... is it possible to set the minimum allowed interval on a visualization (for instance line chart with dat histogram in the X axis).

For instance , I would like to autoscale the interval up when viewing large datasets , but the interval must never go below 5m.

No, it is either "auto" or custom.

It's a reasonable request, tracked here, and marked "low fruit", so pull requests are welcome 😄
