Nick,
Does that mean "m" stand for minute right? Or million?

It stands for milli, so 0.001/s. So 1m would be one per thousand seconds average. The Y axis is the same as ever even for events that are less often than once per second. https://www.nist.gov/pml/weights-and-measures/prefixes
LLDP, CDP, and STP are great examples of what can cause port errors less often than once per second in a very consistent way. I had a new circuit turned up that I was running VLAN tagging on, and the providers router was sending me LLDP which was naturally untagged and counted as an error by my router.
With the LLDP timer sending an error to me every 30 seconds, it was a perfectly flat red line at .0333... errors/s. Luckily I could sniff the traffic in JUNOS and see what it was and get the provider to turn it off! :)
