Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently exsanguinate requires manual input of stack count, which
A. Is limited to integers
B. Requires manual recalculation of the amount of stacks by the user every time the application rate or duration changes.
Describe the solution you'd like
Automatic calculation of the running average of the stacks (multiplying application rate by duration, capped at the max amount of stacks), with an override in the config.
Describe alternatives you've considered
No response
Additional context
The calculation could also be used for other non-refreshing stacking DoTs with a max (e.g. Emberwake ignites and Crimson Dance bleeds), and even for non-stacking DoTs with cast rate lower than the duration

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating Exsanguinate's stack-count calculation and its configuration input, then inspect how other stacking damage-over-time effects are represented. Done means the running average is calculated with a maximum-stack cap and can be overridden in configuration.
