/**
 * Calculates the per-second average rate of increase of a counter. Rate calculations account for breaks in monotonicity, such as counter resets when a service restarts, and extrapolate values within each bucketed time interval. Rate is the most appropriate aggregate function for counters. It is only allowed in a STATS command under a `TS` source command, to be properly applied per time series.
 *
 * @example
 * TS k8s
 * | STATS max_rate=MAX(RATE(network.total_bytes_in)) BY time_bucket = TBUCKET(5minute)
