My fix: Short Rest Spell Points

Take the Spell Point system from the DMG, convert the Warlocks spell slot levels into points. These refresh on a short or long rest. It allows you to cast low level spells without wasting high level slots, and lets you maintain the feel of the Warlock being a short rest caster. "What about invocations that require you to spend a spell slot?" It costs the same amount as it normally costs. Polymorph costs 7 points, as it normally would for a 4th level spell, for example.
Short rest is an hour. You can do that at any time unless the princess is in the next room about to be eaten.
