Particle publish with WITH_ACK not working properly?

[ScruffR]

Is that also the case for WITH_ACK.

Documentation could definitely be updated for clarity…

Then it would also be good to get a cross-reference to any of the functions that could potentially "harm" the functionality (e.g. WiFi.off(), Mesh.off(), System.sleep(), ...) and samples how to deal with them.

See this discussion

Xenon not publishing when using Mesh.off() & Mesh.on()

My Xenon does not seem to be able to publish if the radio module needs to be manually turned on/off. I realize there is an issue with Particle.connect() mentioned here, but I’m unable publish data even when using Mesh.on() followed by Mesh.connect(). Here is a short program for the Xenon that demonstrates my issue. It generates a random number every 3 seconds, stores them in an array, and after 2 minutes averages the numbers and publishes. My Xenon (and its Argon gateway) are on Device OS versi…

I also tried WITH_ACK (instead of delay()) to prevent Mesh.off() from cutting the connection before the event was sent, but that didn't help.
How would one go about this?
