Question regarding Valorant player_name and player_id

Hello, I have a question regarding Valorant events:
{"info":{"me":{"player_id":"f4029eff-92e6-56db-adba-4d073df968a4"}},"feature":"me"}
{"info":{"me":{"player_name":"Doom#5339"}},"feature":"me"}

As far as I know, you can change player_name every 30 days in Valorant, but how does it work with player_id ?
Is the player_id something you get from Valorant or is it Overwolf generated ID? Wondering whether this is unique per account or do you get a new ID each time you enter a match or how does it work? Thanks!

@ArmanV sorry for the delay. Your question was “missed” in my filtering process.

The player_id is not an Overwolf generated ID, and it’s coming from Riot.

@itayG @Shargaas do you know if it’s unique per account or do you get a new ID each time you enter a match or how does it work?

To my recollection and knowledge, this player ID is unique per your account.

Changing your name is only supposed to affect what is usually considered your “display name”, and should not affect the unique account code of the player_id.

(I have not personally checked it, so i cannot say this with full confidence, but this is my educated assumption).
