Cheers! Just had a look, is it as simple as just changing this line to the following, @dcherian ?

python if isinstance(chunks, Number) or chunks=='auto': chunks = dict.fromkeys(self.dims, chunks)

This seems to work fine in a lot of cases, except automatic chunking isn't implemented for object dtypes at the moment, so it fails if you pass a cftime coordinate, for example.

One option is to automatically use self=xr.decode_cf(self) if the input dataset is cftime? Or could just throw an error.
