The blockchain grows at a constant linear rate, 1MB every 10 min or 144MB per day. Isn't that what you mean by "constant size estimate per unit time"?

The number you describe is a constant "change in size." What I describe is a constant maximum worst case "size." Yours would be velocity, mine would be position, function, derivative, etc.
