Better readability for big numbers on tooltip

[ZZaphodd]

TL;DR

Please put "," thousand separator on big numbers for easier read
or follow local locale on computer.

I wonder if localization is important here. Are we just catering to those that use commas in their numbers? Or are we asking to reconfigure numbers based on localization rules?

Localisation certainly is important here.
Germany and Austria for example have dot as thousand and comma as decimal separator, while Switzerland uses the international way.
This has been a bane in my side ever since I first messed this up.

Back on topic, I'd just use SI notation.

It should show the exact values for as long as possible, so that you can differentiate between action taken between two times, and no action taken. Rounding removes this resolution and much of the value usefulness in certain circumstances.

Similar issues have existed in other places with rounding, and I'm glad to see precise values whenever possible.
