There is no subjective difference between living a life once versus having lived that same life countlessly

Possibly, but how would you confirm it in any meaningful way?

No, there's not, which is why eternal recurrence isn't necessarily relieving nor existentially terriying.

However, if the multiverse were real, that there are infinite possible variations of existence, and we assume that there can be consicous continuity between them, then yes, you will repeat this existence an infinite amount of times, but you will also experience and infinite amount more where life plays out differently, from subtle variations like eating a sandwich instead of macaroni and cheese, that are effectively localized without causing global deviations.

So, that's an interesting prospect to contemplate.
