vmui sends 3 requests to tsdb instead of 2

[rtm0]

Describe the bug

After I pick a day using a calendar widget, vmui sends 3 requests to tsdb. For example, if I pick 2024-05-07, the following requests are sent:

GET /prometheus/api/v1/status/tsdb?topN=10&date=2024-05-07
GET /prometheus/api/v1/status/tsdb?topN=10&date=2024-05-05
GET /prometheus/api/v1/status/tsdb?topN=0&date=2024-05-07

Per discusstion with @valyala, only the first two should be sent.

Additionally, the date in the second request is two days before the chosen date. Not sure if this is a bug, but it feels like it should be just one day before? I.e. in the example above, it should be 2024-05-06 instead fo 2024-05-05.

To Reproduce

1. Navigate to Explore > Explore Cardinality and open the browser's developer console and choose Network tab
2. Click on the date in the right upper corner of the vmui and pick a day
3. Confirm vmui send 3 requests:

Thank you for describing the problem.
The third request is needed to obtain totals when using the "Time series selector" filter; if it is empty, then the request is redundant.
The date should be set to one day back, it seems to be related to #6239
