GetUserThumbnailAsync returns the player’s thumb and IsReady variable, which is reported as a bool describing if the image is ready to be used or not.
I ask: in what situations is the image not ready to be used?

I’m pretty sure that when the image URL is returned from the thumbnail API endpoint, the server does not do any checks to ensure it has been loaded / is usable yet. When you apply the image to some decal or image object, it may take a few seconds until the engine loads it.
If you wanted to ensure that it was loaded, I suppose you could check if IsReady == false and if so, perform ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({image_id}); to asynchronously preload the image before your script uses it.

For example, if the image havent loaded you can add a temporary placeholder. you could just use player’s username instead of thier avatar until the image loads.
