What it is used for

Repose cycle can give you a bit of rest during complicated breathing sessions so you can restore your breath without the need to stick to the pattern's ratio.
Also it is convenient to keep track of time during the meditation session. For instance, if you set your repose cycle to last one minute - that means every minute you'll have a gentle sound that lets you know the minute is over.
This way you can also contemplate how your perception of time changes as you are meditating. Or you can switch your attention from one color/mantra/mandala/etc. to another, if that's a part of your meditation.
