Hi, am using Plotly to chart financial data. I wanted to hide non-business days and this lead to weird behaviour of plotly. Ex, below we can see a gap.

This gap is created by this code:

```auto
fig.update_xaxes(
    rangeslider_visible=False,
    rangebreaks=[
        dict(bounds=["sat", "mon"]),
        dict(bounds=[15.5, 9.25], pattern="hour"),
    ]
)

```

This range has 3 holidays, Sat, Sun and Mon. When I try adding Mon i.e. 2024-05-20 to rangebreaks i get overlapping charts.

Code:

```auto
fig.update_xaxes(
    rangeslider_visible=False,
    rangebreaks=[
        dict(bounds=["sat", "mon"]),
        dict(values=["2024-05-20"]),
        dict(bounds=[15.5, 9.25], pattern="hour"),
    ]
)

```

Kindly help.
