this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
What about "rates increased between X DATE and Y DATE" or is that taking too much license with the original text?
Sometimes the text just literally says "rates increased over time," without providing dates. Hence my pickle.

As inevitably as entropy in a closed system, rates increased.
I think you can just drop the "over time".

Perhaps "rates increased as time elapsed" would work.
