Billy still needs a cooldown adjustment
You can barely make distance when you avoid his chainsaw, he can just spam the chainsaw

I'm pretty sure the cooldown is reduced further when in Overdrive which should probably be removed altogether if I'm being completely honest.

The cooldown was already nerfed. He moves at 1.8 m/s for 2.5 seconds when he misses. That's 2.5 x 2.2 metres = 5.5 metres distance. Plus the distance he had from missing. For him to catch up again it easily takes 5 seconds even if your movement isn't optimal. That is 20 metres you can cover to get to another loop and after that, he'd still need to charge again, giving you another 10 metres.
Combined this is roughly 1/3 of a large map. At some point it's not the killer but the player that is an issue. You overestimate how strong he is. Many do. You can still make distance and get to another loop. Or you stay in whatever loop you are currently in. Even before the rework he could use his chainsaw over and over again, which is necessary because it has a lot of counterplay. It doesn't change the fact that every miss costs him a lot of time, he still can't play around windows, pallets stop him and many loops are pretty hard to curve while offering a lot of room to dodge.
You can't have a killer that counters himself and offers you tons of counterplay. That's what Billy used to be like way back and it clearly didn't work.

Honestly its that and he can just camp/slug easily due to it. Everyones defending it to protect their zero interactivity playstyles.

Hillbilly is in the best state of his entire time in DBD. Just because you need to react to and anticipate a missed Chainsaw hit, doesn't mean they should nerf it. Doing that will make players that can actually do those things be near impossible to actually follow up and chase effectively...like he used to be before the buff.

his m2 is literally better than his m1 entirely, there is no reason to lunge when you can chainsaw for 2 healthstates.
I adore my cat billy, spoopy ragged cat werecat thing, but these are way too much and anyone defending it is on copium.

You're
Most of the loops link together disgustingly well, even in his buffed state, Billy still struggles to solely use his saw. Why do you think most still use Lopro? There are a lot of times where you have to M1. Nerfing his Chainsaw cooldown makes even open area chainsawing painful coz youll be like old Billy

I would just rework the cooldown addons and remove the cooldown recovery bonus from Overdrive. The base cooldown is fine now imo
