What kind of date are you feeding the chart? It looks like you are giving it a 0. Java tracks dates as the number of milliseconds after January 1st, 1970 00:00:00 GMT. With your timezone offset, (I’m guessing South America somewhere), you get the date that you see on the chart.

I don’t understand what do you mean with the kind of date 😅🙈, it’s in Realtime mode and the rest by default, everything was working good, and then, the date change happened, but now it’s working correctly again, it’s weird by the way…😟  
Thank you so much for your answer!

Well, it could be that it just had no data. I’m guessing no data defaults to 0 for the date, which would result in what you were seeing.
