The channel_left event is sometimes sent to all connections for a user when that user leaves a public channel. It is sometimes withheld.

Clients should respond to this message by closing the channel — this means that when a channel is left from client A, it will automatically be closed in client B.

In addition to this message, all existing members of the channel will receive a channel_leave message event.
