The 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.
