Description
I have dates on x-axis and some of the ticks are in different format than others as they have month, day and year specified, and others just have time of day. When manually setting format of date, they overlap. Is it possible to have tick dates on x axis in the same format without overlapping?

Example with setting format and ticks overlapping: https://codepen.io/mizeljko/pen/vYNwwOv

Research direction
Start by reproducing the two linked CodePen examples, comparing the default date tick formatting with the manually specified format and overlapping labels. Trace the x-axis date tick formatting and layout behavior in plotly.js; done means date ticks use a consistent readable format without overlapping.
