Yeah, I guess that ipexperts reply to this is "To do like that would
be cool but too expensive".

I imagine they need support people on hand at the scheduled start
times in the event problems occur. Using tokens in that fashion would
mean the start times could be random and therefore would require 24/7
on hand support = expensive.
Adapt and overcome :-)

Ok. In my Utopia-world-of-perfect-things (thos who knows me knows
that I often refer to it. ;) ) I build a flexible booking-system
that makes the customer able to:
* Schedule a system for x hours in a row where x could be 1 - 16
(or something like that)
* be charged for those x hours by withdrawing x tokens from their
account
* start a session ad-hoc without pre-booking.
* extend a current session as long as the current pod is available.
Of course that system must be able to intelligently select which
pod to place each customer on, which might be a somwehat advanced
algoritm. But since such a system would be able to take all
bookings into account at each given time it would dedicate each
session to a physical pod not until the session starts so that it
could do proper planning to be effective. Lets call that system
EIGRP for rack-rental, but ut would kick-ass. I know plenty of
developers that would be able to implement such a system and I am
sure that you do as well.
In my opinion the first rackrental-company that offers this would
be a winner (at least the winner of my money!).
4 hours sessions is only slightly better than 8 hour sessions.
What if my companys conf-room-booking-system (O*tl**k) said
"sorry, you cannot use that empty room ad-hoc, it can only be
booked in advance and only for 8-hour slots. So you wanna have a
short 1 hour meeting? You have too book 2pm-10pm."

For the very least of reasons, that would lead to having separate
device pools, of which one could be overused, while other one is
unused. Migrating and managing device pools may be an issue and
additional cost.
Think of load sharing here... We'd need EIGRP for vRack
sessions... :-)
