Uniqueness of IDs acquired by query to the itch.io server-side API with JWT

Hello,

The itch.io provides us server-side API with JWT token, and each game application can acquire user ID and game ID using it under the scope: “profile:me.”

1) Can I assume the value of "/user/id" inside the JWT query response as an ID linked to a certain real user account?

2) Can I assume the value of "/api_key/issuer/game_id" inside the JWT query response as an ID linked to a certain real game title which executes the JWT query?

3) Can I assume those user IDs and game IDs, which are published by the itch.io’s server and acquired via JWT queries, are unique on the earth for decades?

4) Can I assume the linkage between a real user and a user ID, or between a real game title and a game ID will not change for decades?

Thank you.
