A Noob question, when I print Thread.currentThread().name, what exactly does @coroutine#id indicate (I understand it's an identifier to coroutine, but what exact piece of work does it indicate)? Is it the work the current thread does from one suspension point to till it encounters another suspension point? What exactly is a @coroutine#id physically translates to?

coroutines have an CoroutineName element that is attached to the current thread name when the debug sys prop is enabled

when unspecified it is incremented from the name of the parent., or coroutine if there is none

Yes, I get it it's an identifier to coroutine, but my question is what piece of work does it indicate? When will it be incremented?

the ID is incremented as part of newCoroutineContext, so coroutineScope and withContext do not increment the ID, but launch and async, etc. any concurrency will

Thanks @octylFractal 🙂
