Clarification needed on possible values of rule_units

[janedotx]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the policy README, rule_units is amount for a rate rule type, but it could be a unit of time instead if the rate rule has a recurrence of each_time_unit or per_complete_time_unit.

Describe the solution you'd like

Get rid of amount as a valid value for rule_units. There doesn't seem to be much point in having rule_units have a value of amount just for rate rules that recur only once.

Is this a breaking change

I don't think this is breaking. If you write a recurring rate rule, you already have to set rule_units to some sort of time unit to have the rule make sense in the first place.

• No, not breaking
