Number next to a Guardian's name?

Since Beyond Light I noticed that there is a number next to a Guardian's name. (Before the update, the blue box used to hold the equipped class of the player.)

When I die and am waiting for respawn, I always see that my number is 1, so I don't think it is the Season Pass level, but then again it may simply be a bug. So, what does this number mean?


That number is your Season Rank. This Reddit thread indicates it does seem to be a bug where it displays your Season Rank as 1 regardless of what your actual Season Rank is whenever you are dead and waiting to be revived
