Report & Chart Time Compression
As time progresses, data is compressed in order to greatly increase reporting efficiency and performance. Because of data being compressed into different time blocks, if you request data with a time span that overlaps a compression change, the data may be displayed in the chart differently than what you expected.
For instance, if you create a chart to display statistics on an hourly basis spanning more than a month (which would overlap the change in compression from hourly to daily compression) you may notice that a small section is not hourly data, but daily data. This effect is due to the compression where the hourly data for a day has been compressed into a daily average.
