I was trying to show some students the graph of $y=4- \ln (2-x)$ today on Desmos.
Unfortunately we can see from the picture below that the graph does not render correctly around the asymptote and appears to 'stop' at around $y=40$. This same behaviour happens when we try to plot the graph on a graphical calculator so I wonder what it is about this graph that is causing this?
Thanks

Like (almost) everything, Desmos is not perfect.
The "term" for this is unresolved detail, as Desmos calls it. This is what an official Desmos FAQ officially says about this:
For more on Desmos, I answered a similar question here. Also, here is a slightly less trusted website (Reddit) but it does have a great example of what you were experiencing.
