You can channel energy directly from the Outer Planes to fuel magical effects. When you use this class’s Channel Divinity, you can choose which effect to create. You can use this class’s Channel Divinity 2 times per Long Rest, but can regain one expended use after finishing a Short Rest.
I find that hard to interpret. On the one hand, I feel if it was only once per long rest, then it would be mentioned. With something like "once you've recovered a divinity point by such means, you can't do so again until you take a Long Rest". But there's no such indication, so RAW would be every short rest. On the other hand, I feel if it was meant to be every short rest, the description should say "regain an expended use" instead of "regain one expended use".

You regain one expended use after every short rest. You regain all expended uses after every long rest.
If there were a limitation on how many times you could regain one on a short rest, it would say that.
I figured so, but thanks for clarifying. This is a REALLY good buff!
No problem.
I'm not sure I'd characterize it as a buff, exactly. You get more uses of Channel Divinity than the old version, but the old version had all your uses come back on a short rest rather than just one.
I call it a buff because there's usually no shortage of opportunities to rest, and I'd be more likely to run out of uses within a single fight than gradually lose them over time without resting.
