All I can tell you is what it says in the documentation:
With the Automatic setting, the distribution of coordinate values is
found, and any points sufficiently far out in the distribution are
dropped. Such points are often produced as a result of singularities in
functions being plotted.
That give no clue as to what "sufficiently far out" means. Perhaps it's
a proprietary matter. But I've seldom constructed such a complicated
plot that, if I didn't like what Mathematica chose as the PlotRange (by
its Automatic default setting), I couldn't immediately change that and
re-plot without wasting more than a second or two.
You may want to use the form
PlotRange -> {min, Automatic}
for PlotRange. Look up PlotRange in the HelpBrowser for explanation.
