left, wspace and hspace wider. This will reduce the chance of
overlaps.Search — Matplotlib 3.8.2 documentation
The defaults can be changed in your rc file

Droetboom worked on it for a while but didn't get to a satisfactory
point. So far our philosophy has been : make it easy to customize
rather than do it automatically. I realize this is not always a good
approach, especially in automated figure generators where you don't
have access to the data ahead of time.
One possibility is to offer a mode whereby the font size for the
annotations is fixed. It is then much easier to figure out how large a
particular annotation must be before laying out the graph. That ought to
make it much easier to leave enough room for axis labels and such.
Ideally in this mode the automatic layout would be improved so that axis
labels were always visible. But even if that was a planned feature that
was not initially implemented, having fixed font size would allow users
to more easily lay things out as desired.
