Incense meanings

I have read somewhere that when you light three incense sticks, the
rate at which they burn can mean different things.

For example:
- Good luck in 7 days
- Someone ill in 10 days
etc etc

Does anyone have a definitive list of how they translate in Buddhism?

When they're done burning, that's a good time for a beginner to stop
meditating. Other than that, the time has no meaning.
