This is also a considerable problem for me. My bot operates with a relatively slow edit rate (once every few hours) and it's hitting the badtoken exception on every edit. I can work around it with a wrapper to check for a badtoken error and retry the edit, but it's silly that the application should have to implement that.

I'm still digging through the pywikibot code to find the best place to fix it, but I'm inclined to agree that if it's too difficult to cache tokens reliably then they shouldn't be cached at all. Better to take an efficiency hit than to compromise functionality.
