How to achieve row count until data changes in column?

I have a table with 3 columns: _time, type and action

| makeresults count=10
| eval type = "typeA"
| eval action = if((random()%2) == 1, "open", "close")
| union
[| makeresults count=10
| eval type = "typeB"
| eval action = if((random()%2) == 1, "open", "close")]

I need to create a column for each type that would identify the change in the column action and count # of actions in ascending order like this...

_time typeA typeB typeA_count typeB_count
2022-01-01 05:00:00 open close 1 1
2022-01-01 05:00:01 open open 2 1
2022-01-01 05:00:02 close close 1 1
2022-01-01 05:00:03 open open 1 1
2022-01-01 05:00:04 close open 1 2
2022-01-01 05:00:05 open close 1 1
2022-01-01 05:00:06 open close 2 2
2022-01-01 05:00:07 open close 3 3
2022-01-01 05:00:08 close open 1 1
2022-01-01 05:00:09 open close 1 1


Thanks

And another thing I need help with

I need to get the max action_count from the previous SPL:

2022-12-06 00:03:001
2022-12-06 00:04:001
2022-12-06 00:05:001
2022-12-06 00:06:002
2022-12-06 00:07:003
2022-12-06 00:08:004
2022-12-06 00:09:001
2022-12-06 00:10:002
2022-12-06 00:11:003
