The thirteenth and final incarnation of the Doctor, but the one known as the Eleventh.
His place at the end of the expected regenerations limit (established by Robert Holmes in The Deadly Assassin) was laid out in The Time of the Doctor. As it was, the Time Lords gave him a whole new life-cycle - quantity undefined.
Seems these Time Lords were out of the loop regarding the fact that Gallifrey was supposed to know that the Doctor was immortal and didn't need a new regeneration cycle - or they did know, and only pretended to give him a new cycle to hide from him the fact that he was immortal and had had memories wiped.
But then why would Rassilon ask how many regenerations they'd given him in Heaven Sent?
You see, Chibnall really never thought this whole "Immortal Doctor" thing through at all, did he?
I'm sure we will always remember when he was the Doctor as well.
