the rainrate is per hour (like kilometres per hour for speed) and is the amount of rain which has fallen in the previous hour, not within the reporting period. When the rain stops falling the rainrate will decay slowly down to zero. (in your case over two archive periods and then you will be outside the 1 hr rainrate window)
the accumulated rain is the daily total, and goes up over the day the table does not give the amount of rain which fell in that reporting period - you have to deduce it from the change in the accumulated total.
