XAxis tick interval doesn't change automatically in highcharts gantt - highcharts

Question

I've implemented a Gantt chart that contains some Gantt long bars and their time period is usually more than a couple of months, moreover, the xAxis of the chart shows years and months as you can see below gif. XAxis's tick-interval should change automatically when I change the range of the Gantt period, but it doesn't!
The desired way is that if I change the time range to a month or smaller, xAxis's tick-interval should change to month/week or month/day.
xAxis: {
maxPadding: 0,
max: Date.UTC(2024, 07, 16),
plotLines: [
// some lines
]
}

Answer 1

Ticks on the xAxis are calculated based on the provided data.
When your data range is wide, the ticks also tend to cover a wider period of time. To change default behaviour you might set the tickInterval inside the afterSetExtremes function with the use of the update method.
Inside you might specify some conditions like for example visible range.
events: {
afterSetExtremes: function(e) {
if (this.chart.xAxis[1].max - this.chart.xAxis[1].min < 36e8) {
this.update({
tickInterval: 36e7
})
} else {
this.update({
tickInterval: undefined
})
this.chart.xAxis[1].update({
tickInterval: undefined
})
}
}
}
