I'm using Kibana to visualize my web application's performance. Specifically, I'm graphing response time percentiles. However. Looking at my visualization the scale of the Y axis is incorrect. It shows about double the value of the actual datapoints. See the following screenshot: ![46%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/3/13780240d5ae542c8229643e52f637f42ffef972.png) Is this a bug, or am I misinterpreting the data somehow? The visualization is about as straightforward as it gets: The Y-axis is a percentile aggregation over the request duration and the X-axis is a date histogram of the timestamp. ---

Definitely looks like a bug to me. Maybe you can share your visualization config. There may be something weird in your setup. ---

I'm relatively new to Kibana, what's the best way to share my config? ---

Screenshots of the UI would work best. ---

Settings for the visualization are below: ![31%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/3/13b3fd03ffd08577bcc426d7aa1551d9c8c95c8a.png) ![07%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/b/ab7a79056a7f94c0061d98dcb306d7e444ef340b.png) ![15%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/6/06a66c0b5bcf0a1d852c89d123c31dd14dd04ba5.png) ![56%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/6/168fb094fcc31e90dd5c8570af8f8d9badb3a1bc.png) ---

It looks like it might be adding the times on the Y axis. Maybe if you switch to a bar chart it will split the buckets into separate bars. ---

You were right! Changing the mode to 'normal' fixed the issue. Thanks! ---
