This is a bug report which just repeats what has been stated at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/360201.

\documentclass[border=5pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
    \pgfplotsset{
        compat=1.14,    % <-- changing this value doens't change anything
    }
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{axis}[
            xbar,
            xmax=10,
        ]
            \addplot coordinates {(1,1) (11,2)};
        \end{axis}
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{axis}[
            ybar,
            ymax=10,
        ]
            \addplot coordinates {(1,1) (2,11)};
        \end{axis}

I found the root cause:

The problem is a feature which is useful for "normal plots": if a data point falls outside the prescribed data limits, none of its components contributes to the axis limits. Consequently, the data points in question are there, but their result is invisible since pgfplots has reduced the visible range.

Workarounds are

define the full data range manually or
use 'clip limits=false' which disables the mentioned feature.

Unfortunately, 'clip limits=true' still has its uses for bar plots: suppose that you have an 'xbar' plot and its y coordinate falls outside of the visible limit! In this case, you not want to adopt the x limits as well. This distinction is not currently covered by pgfplots, but it sounds as if it is the correct solution.

suggested solution:

introduce 'clip x limits', 'clip y limits', 'clip z limits' and predefine these styles in the bar plot handlers.

I have fixed it.

Note that the fixed requires \pgfplotsset{compat=1.15} since it might affect valid old documents.
