The only thing we can be sure is Earth-616 was in the 7th iteration, and is stated to be reborn in the 8th, and that stop right here, while the reality causing the Multiversal renewal in the 6th is stated to be a separated one. There's the different between the two renewals: While the people of Earth-0 died (to exist in a similar fashion again billions of years, possibly courtesy of the Living Tribunal), Earth-616 seemingly rebirthed immediately (to be mitigated with the incoming comics) in the new Multiverse. That's why I mitigated the fact of using the 7th-8th transition as a model, when we doesn't know the rules and the two examples are opposed (that answer also your 21:25 message on the talk page).

If we reduce the problem to its simplest interpretation, we're basically arguing on two interpretations:
 * You: The "cosmic counter" apply to Earth-616, with each multiversal renewal adding one iteration to this counter / Earth-616 is always Earth-616 from a Multiverse iteration to another
 * Me: The "cosmic counter" apply to the whole Omniverse, with Earth-616 being a 7th Multiverse iteration universe (until Secret Wars).

But we should better stop now because we stand on our positions (you stating each iteration have its Earth-616, me stating it could be true or not and that assuming it isn't is the safer way until it proven otherwise) and only more issues will help to see clearer.
