Y-axis log automatic max truncates

I have a line chart showing data with values between 0 and 9. Using a log Y-axis but letting the max be automatically derived, it chooses a max of 1, so the peaks are clipped/truncated/cropped. If I artificially add a little to each value so the max is 11, it chooses 100 as the max.

While I could set my own max, the max will vary quite a bit over time to I'd prefer an adaptive chart.

Why isn't Splunk choosing the next higher log scale to include all data?

Log scale is 0.01, 0.1, 1 which truncates the max value of 9
