In my case, it seems the "garbage" that is going into the graphs is caused
by a lack of data, rather than actual bad data. I'm specifically wondering
if there's some time interval mix-up that is causing the issue. If anyone
would like to see a current example of one of the graphs with bad data, I'll
gladly provide a screenshot.
