Also why only keep 40 characters but have the threshold set to 70 bytes?

if 69 characters fits then why not have:
if (mb_strlen($label) >= LABLE_TRUNCATE_LEN) {
$label = mb_substr($label, 0, LABLE_TRUNCATE_LEN - 3) . '...';
}
where LABLE_TRUNCATE_LEN would be set to something sensible (presumably between 40 and 70).

I'm not sure why I had those set so differently. Should be addressed now.

Risk: LOW
Severity: MEDIUM (heavily affects readability of some pie charts)
Description
These changes fix the pie chart margin for when very long data labels are showing.
Also discovered that pie chart margin for some of the interactive charts have clipping with the data labels. This fix is non-trivial and will require some more effort in a separate PR. This is because the margin for pie charts may need to be re-worked entirely due to interactions with the subtitle, and different legend locations.
Motivation and Context
Pie charts with long data labels were barely visible

Tested on xdmod-dev
