You're thinking in dollar terms.
The 8% Rule is in bitcoin terms. So, while the dollar amount will be volatile from year to year, you will know exactly how many sats you are selling to support your lifestyle.
Also, though volatile in fiat terms, the amount of purchasing power will generally increase (materially) over the years.
