[Helix] Followed Live Streams returning empty user_name field

[S0und]

Brief description When a user follows a streamer, and this streamer starts to stream, this fact is published in https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/followed to the user. The problem is, when the streamer goes live, in the first ~30 seconds the user_name (displayName) is not published in https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/followed result, while EVERY OTHER information is. So only user_name is missing, and only missing for the first ~30seconds.

How to reproduce Have two accounts, follow account A with account B, go live with account A, query https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/followed with account B. Account A will show up, but without user_name, if you query it again a few seconds later, the user_name will be there.

Expected behavior I expect that the user_name is always part of the query result regardless WHEN i turn the query. Especially when user_id and user_login is always in the result.

Screenshots

Video I went live, on my main account, and i'm querying https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams/followed with my dev account. You can clearly see that the user_name is empty for a good 30 seconds. https://streamable.com/18sinc

I highly disagree with the mod's response, since it's just wrong. This is not about how often i run the query, but WHEN i run it. I can run it once a week in that 30sec window, and i get a result with empty user_name.
