 Hi @souri_wpaustria,

 Thanks for the report. In this case, `post-thumbnail` is the intended
 default size since the function `get_the_post_thumbnail_url()` is meant to
 return the `post-thumbnail` size set when a theme declares post thumbnail
 support and uses `set_post_thumbnail_size()` to set the size for the
 `post-thumbnail` image.

 At this point, the function has defaulted to the `post-thumbnail` size
 since it was introduced in 4.4, so changing the default value would result
 in backwards compatibility issues for any themes that are expecting the
 current default size.
