displayUsername is normalizing to lowercase.
Im not certain what has happened but recently my better-auth has been normalizing my displayUsername submitted to the better-auth library. On the network request it appears to be sending it to the API endpoint with the correct uppercase and lowercase letters but my database, neon.tech, is showing it in lowercase only. Has this been an issue for anyone else before?
I can provide any code needed to fix this....
