What the article says around this equation
Clock discipline matters near a horizon. A static laboratory’s proper time and the asymptotic Killing time differ by the lapse. Affine parameters on the horizon enter the mode decomposition differently again. The product T must be dimensionless after the rate and duration have been expressed in the same convention. The planned code carries a clock identifier with every rate object and refuses to multiply mismatched clocks. Relabeling an asymptotic rate as a local proper-time rate can create an apparent redshift enhancement or suppression without changing the physics.
