10 seconds and $5 are default values to make things started - in the future I think we should be gathering analytics to be able to replace the values accordingly.

In my view the best way to do it is to perform A/B-testing all the time by several values of price and delay in order to maximize the revenue (which is price multiplied by conversion). It means that the algorithm should select the values of price and delay, which make users willing to pay more. If the price or delay set too high (turning it into "nightmare"), the conversion will decrease - and the algorithm should understand that it's time to low values.
