"Absolute Time Range" Issue in Grafana Dashboards

Hello Community,

I am currently exploring Grafana and I’m encountering a small issue related to the “Absolute Time Range” on the dashboards.

Issue Description:
When setting the “To” time range limit to “now,” (for example: last 6 hours or today so far) the time series on the x-axis only displays data up until “now-1h”. For instance, if the current time is 14:00, the x-axis will show data only until 13:00. To view the data from the last hour, we have to zoom out manually.

I have verified that the data timestamps are correct and that the data from the last hour is indeed available, but it seems hidden until we adjust the zoom.

Temporary Solution: Currently, i am working around this issue by setting the “To” time range limit to “now+1h”, which allows me to view the real-time data and the last hour on the time series.

We would appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue properly and if there is a permanent solution to ensure the time series displays the most recent data without the need for manual adjustments.

Thank you.

Screen shot from dashboard(timestamp is UTC for Lisbon, Portugal on both Grafana and the server)

The time is 17h45 when these screens shot were taken.

Without Zoom out

Zoomed out(The last hour data is avaliable and the timestamp is right, yet the interval between 16h45 and 17h45 is hidden unless i zoom out)

My current solution(setting the To as now+1h)
