A 4200-hour campaign on FRB 20240114A finds that the highest-energy bursts account for most of the observed radio energy release, with a break in the energy distribution at ~2×10^40 erg and a linear DM rise of +0.96 pc cm^{-3} over 318 days.
CHIME/FRB has now cataloged 80 repeating FRB sources whose burst rates and upper limits are consistent with a power-law distribution implying 50-100% of all FRBs repeat.
Analysis of CHIME/FRB Catalog 2 with synthetic injections and a multidimensional selection function yields evidence for a slight downturn in the intrinsic scattering timescale distribution, though flat or rising distributions remain possible.
