    If you look at the bot api docs you will see that only first_name, id and is_bot are not marked as Optional.

    Thus a number of users will not have a username, which you have to take into account and work around.

    if you are retriving message from channel you can try sender_chat, in this you will have username of channels and real users, instead in the from_user you will find username of real users and bot. So you need to choose which one use depending of the use-case.

    def funtion_example(update, context):
    #name of the bot user
    chat_user_client = update.message.sender_chat.username
    update.message.reply_text(str(chat_user_client))
