My example here:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np


def data_sample():
    start_date = pd.Timestamp("2020-01-01")
    end_date = pd.Timestamp("2021-01-31")
    index = pd.date_range(start_date, end_date, freq="D")
    df = pd.DataFrame(index=index)
    df["x1"] = (np.random.randn(len(index)) + 1) * 10000
    df["x2"] = (np.random.randn(len(index)) + 1) * 20000
    df["x3"] = (np.random.randn(len(index)) + 1) * 30
    df["x4"] = (np.random.randn(len(index)) + 1) * 40
    df["x5"] = (np.random.randn(len(index)) + 1) * 500
    df['y'] = np.random.randn(len(index)) +\
        5*df["x1"] + 10*df["x2"] + 20*df["x3"] + 30*df["x4"] - 40*df["x5"]
    return df.clip(lower=0)
ts_data = data_sample().iloc[:10]

fig_go.update_layout({

                'x': 0.4,

                'showactive': True,
                'active': 0,
                'buttons': my_button_pct
            }
    ]
})
fig_go.update_layout(hovermode='x unified')
fig_go.show()

The problem seems to be only on the "Stack/Non-stacked" dropdown. Maybe because its the only one that changes both data and layout of the traces.
