https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/u returns 204 No Content, but according to https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/c6893ba47cfd4002abea33d4b1bd3f7a that user still exists.
The same applies to user Z (ca58c68cf220499b944926cb4f25c2c6), and perhaps more users, see comments.
I am aware that the current limitation for NEW usernames is 3-16 characters, but old accounts don't have this limit. See for example https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/G or https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/ez.
This is likely related to WEB-49.

How have you noticed that you are unable to lookup the profile for this name?
I noticed that after I had a look at namemc.com (https://namemc.com/s?Z) but I don't understand how they know that this name exist
@Marcono1234 I think I noticed it after verifying the fix of WEB-49.
I still don't understand how you noticed it nor how namemc.com can know about these profile
Do you know how they do that?
Can you please include "Z" in the description as well to make sure it does not get lost in the comments
These two accounts (and possibly others) were Minecraft profiles that were deleted, as such they don't give any response from the API.
Thanks for the comment, that makes sense. However, I would then argue there's a bug in other parts of the API because they still return info for users that do not (no longer) exist, for example: https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/ca58c68cf220499b944926cb4f25c2c6
@@unknown, this is intended according to this comment
[...] The session API doesn't care about the state of the profile which is why you also can fetch information on deleted profiles etc.
Affects username "Z" as well
