      // There is an error with moment, where if you have a fractional interval between 0 and 1, then when you add that
      // interval to an existing moment object, it will remain unchanged, which causes problems in the ordered_x_keys
      // code. To counteract this, we find the first unit that doesn't result in a value between 0 and 1.
      // For example, if you have '0.5d', then when calculating the x-axis series, we take the start date and begin
      // adding 0.5 days until we hit the end date. However, since there is a bug in moment, when you add 0.5 days to
      // the start date, you get the same exact date (instead of being ahead by 12 hours). So instead of returning
      // a duration corresponding to 0.5 hours, we return a duration corresponding to 12 hours.
