VRChat's API will stop providing username to users soon
See original GitHub issueThe VRChat API will stop providing the username
field to API users soon. We expect this change to happen within the next 1-2 weeks.
Please ensure VRCX is not using the username
field for anything vital, such as keying. Instead, you should utilize id
as the primary user key, as it is guaranteed to be unique and always point at the same user, no matter what they’re named.
I have not looked at VRCX’s code or how it handles this data. There may be no action required.

Some clarifications as requested:
Users will still be able to see their own usernames, for now. I wouldn’t rely on this being present forever.
The
users/{username}/name
endpoint will be going away, yes.This is being deployed right now.
