Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are energetic phenomena that have significant implications for understanding fundamental physics and the Universe. Recent observations of FRB 121102, FRB 20220912A, and FRB 20201124A by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope showed high-burst rates and distinctive energy distribution and temporal properties. In this study, we examine these observations to investigate the scale invariance of the waiting times between bursts for intervals longer than approximately 1 s. Our analysis revealed a unified scaling law for these longer intervals, which is similar to the behaviour of solar flares. This discovery inspires us to suggest a dual analogy of the FRB scenario across the entire time intervals: with earthquake dynamics at subsecond scales and with solar flare dynamics beyond the one-second threshold. This threshold potentially aligns with the dynamic time-scale of neutron star crusts, offering insight of the occurrence of FRBs into the internal processes of neutron stars.
