WTH We don't have selectable date ranges in chart range selectors for history, logbook, and energy

You mean WTH for a picker or the picker implemented? IMO the current one is… deserves WTH. This is why I’m asking.

There’s a few WTHs about history in general. Some are for the picker, some are for the graphs. This one is specifically about crappy date ranges from what I can tell.

I find it very difficult after change of a month to get a meaningful view in a diagram. The date pickers are very fiddly and convoluted on many platforms.
There should be a choice with a floating 4-week time frame similar to the fixed this / last month settings.

Speaking about grafana, what about user-defined ranges (stored on the server!) and some functions helping build own ranges (floating, dynamic, fixed whatever)

Sometimes I have impression that HA community (incl devs) is trying to re-invent a wheel.

Created a pull request for it, adding Last 24 hours, Last 30 days and Last 365 days:

but you did not include ranges below 24h, which is my main gripe.
