DEPRECATION NOTICE: Getting timezone property of user object is deprecated. Use user_option object instead

You will get this notice when you try to load the user from the store like this

api.container.lookup('service:store').find('user', api.getCurrentUser().username).then((user) => {
});

Hydrating the user form the store apparently access the timezone on the user, triggering this notice.

I use the above code to access the user’s user_fields which are not populated on the user returned by api.getCurrentUser().

Is there a different way to get the user_fields from a theme or theme component without the above construction?
