Yes, this is the same issue as #2000 - closing this one, we will make sure the fix handles both scatter and bar traces.

Has the bug been Fixed or not yet? I recently use Dash to plot bar chart, the cut off problem still exists.

In case some one stumbles across this, use the
cliponaxis: falseoption (from the above referenced PR)Example - CodePen

I just ran into a case where setting
cliponaxis: falsejust wouldn't work. One workaround is to explicitly set the yaxis range to[0,7000]but I think more direct is to set the top margin to 20px or something large enough to show the labelSet top margin to 20px
Set yaxis range a little wider:

for a bar chart the only thing that works for me is calculating the max value and multiplying the max by 1.1 to extend the range. Hope this gets fixed.

I found a useful workaround! If you add the label as an annotation instead of texposition outside it will not get cut off :)
