In particular, the ticklabels_rotation example is likely the one most easily found by those looking for how to do this; let's not suggest that plt.xticks is "the" way to rotate ticklabels. Also remove the margins() call (which was really only needed with the old round_numbers autolimits mode) and the subplots_adjust() call (the ticklabels already fit in, and the modern approach would be to use constrained_layout anyways).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm always unsure whether to go through xaxis or ax.tick_params('x', rotation=70). Slight tendency for the higher-level ax.tick_params in simple cases but basically either is fine.
