Is this channel reuse done by using Channel Presence to save tokens? I still haven't found a function to test if a token is still valid?
I was experiencing channel disconnects when the user shuts down their browsers even if the channel was only opened for a few minutes. So this means we will get charged a ton if people visit the website many times a day for very short periods of time. I just have to say that the new Channel Pricing scheme is way out of control! Just do some simple calculations and you'll see that the costs will be huge for 1000's of users. This is such awesome technology, but this new pricing will price out a bunch of aspiring developers who don't have tons of extra money to spend. I now feel a bit swindled. Most likely I will switch to EC2, since I can install the APE Project on an instance, which provides the same functionality as Channel API *without* per channel costs. It will save me tons of money! Now I have wasted a ton of my time developing for GAE-specific platform. A bit of a slap in the face for loyalty.
