Quoting the documentation:

What does "at least" mean here? Is there also an "at most"? I do not
want my friend to end up in cyberspace. :-)
Nope, there isn't :) In ordinary multitasking environment there is no guarantee
on upper bound.
Surely got that bit, but I guess it makes sense to refer a bit more to
some good old thread state names: After (exactly!) the given period of
"suspension" the thread returns into "ready" state.
When (if ever) it will become the "running" thread again depends ...
