It is still bad practice to select a narrow window from a axis like this and show the difference that seems massive relative to what is shown but isn’t that significant when we can see the relation to the whole.
Graph 101

This is a commonly known issue with graphs and one that gets repeated without a lot of consideration for context. While it’s generally a good basic rule to have graphs show the full vertical axis, it’s not like it’s a hard rule that needs to be followed 100% of the time. In this case for example, moving from 99.999% (five nines) to 99% (two nines) is a significant effect, it has importance. Displaying the full axis would make that difference unnoticeable and render the graph useless.
