Description

### Problem Statement

Many widgets that you make, have a lot of weird skew and wasted space along the y-axis. Often it's due to outlier values and all the values 'n' beyond the Top 5 that you'e selected, getting aggregated together into a 6th result. It looks like this, and I've seen much worse cases of it:

So you can un-click 'Other' to hide it, but after months of working with the Product, I didn't even realize that was a feature.

Notice how much cleaner it is now, and the y-axis only goes up to 18 instead of 25

Concerned customers don't know how to do this
Concerned that 'Limit5' should only limit you to 5 and not show 6

### Solution Brainstorm

Make LImit 5... limit you to 5.

Or give some kind of extra option when editting the Widget, "Ignore the rest from grouping into a 6th" somehow.
