Hello.  
Currently the time axis of the reviews’ stats graph has units of day-intervals.  
I’d like to suggest that when displaying stats for the entire history (\>1 year), the time axis would use dates (i.e. `27th Feb.-2nd Jun. '24`) instead of delta time (i.e. `3,501-3,600 days ago`) as it currently does. Both under the graph and on the tooltip.

I think that when one inspects longingly past achievements or shortcomings, as one does, it’s of greater interest to know when the peaks and valleys happened, rather than ‘how long ago in absolute duration’ they happened.

The `future due` which can also go to high intervals should probably stay as it is, since whatever is due 1000 days from now is not what would be due the day after 999 days from now.

I found [Also show the date for each histogram bar in Stats / Reviews mouseover popup](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/also-show-the-date-for-each-histogram-bar-in-stats-reviews-mouseover-popup/42655) and [Year ticks in graphs](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/year-ticks-in-graphs/47015) supporting this suggestion.

I fully support the idea, but at the same time I still like the “500 days ago” that I see in my graphs; it gives me a feeling of achievement haha. So I’d like the “x-y days ago” to stay in the tooltip.
