For lower time ranges it looks fine:

This bug was already reported in https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-charts/issues/1343. However, I think their solution of adding the option timeScale: {addSpaceOnEdges: 0} does not lead to a satisfactory result because then there is no space at all:

It would be better if there is always at least one empty tick between the bars and the edges like when using data testWorking in the sandbox.

I worked around this bug by specifying a custom domain which includes an extra time period left and right of the chart data time range and then using CSS to hide the first and last ticks on the bottom axis
