I have a chart at this JSFiddle to demonstrate a problem where our charts are not respecting the y-axis tick interval for large values:

$('#container').highcharts({
yAxis: {
tickInterval: 53687091200 // 500 gigabytes. Maximum y-axis value is approx 1.8TB
},
series : [
{
color: 'rgba(80, 180, 77, 0.7)',
type: 'areaspline',
name : 'Downstream',

});
In this example we are charting bandwidth utilization in bytes. The chart has a maximum value of about 1.8TB. We set the y-axis tick interval to exactly 500GB but the rendered y-axis ticks don't make any sense for the given interval.
