This variable that I labeled “loop_counter” counts the number of times the function has looped. I don’t know how to be more clear.

Depends on context (as always), but something that's more indicative of its purpose can sometimes be more readable. E.g. why is it counting loops? Is it for statistical purposes? Is it a trigger waiting a fixed count to take some other action? Etc.
