Item to note, you mix your abbreviations and it becomes clunky.
So .9B on one item but then 158M on the other vs 900M and 158M (or .9B and .158B to keep in line with the rest of the chart).

Reply to comment by justasmalltowndad in TIL that Titanic crewman Herbert Pitman made an attempt to row his lifeboat over to rescue people in the water, but was overruled by the other occupants of the boat, who were worried about people swarming them and duly complied. Pitman said that this haunted him throughout his life. by ChadExtra
I tried to making a movie about how the US finally got the Japanese to surrender at the end of WWII. Sadly the movie bombed.

Depends on the data and audience and usually we put in a means to switch between thousands, millions, billions on our dashboards.
For a static like this where the numbers have such a wide range I'm torn as I usually prefer everything to be the same notation. The beauty of the Sankey is you could keep the notation by step. So for instance the far right step being in Millions but the middle step in Billions. It's not perfect by any stretch and I'd still be annoyed that they're not all in billions.
