because it never worked how you did think it worked but just silent

session_name(self::$name); // this is line 137
session_set_cookie_params(0, COOKIEPATH, null, self::$force_ssl_cookie, true);

both are nonsense when the session is already running

> according to the docs with session_name I could change sessions and start multiple sessions

where is that statet and how should that work since the session is tied to the session cookie?

> unset($_COOKIE[session_name()]);
> session_destroy();

what is that and why?
$_SESSION = array();
session_destroy();

and leave the cookie alone!

Well I see the problem. It is actually that it never worked like I thinked it was working. Multiple sessions acutally are created using session_id() according to this document, session_name() always means the current session.
