For months I've been dealing with this issue that is exclusive on Apex Legends. The fact that it never happens to any other matchmaking games I've played (CSGO, Valorant, LoL) is proof that the problem lies only on Apex Legends and not on our ISP. I've even done all the basic troubleshooting steps mentioned here over and over out of desperation to no avail. After a few more searches, what I found is that the most common cause of the high ping is that the game sometimes connects/routes me through US servers despite being from Asia (and having chosen Asian Data Centers).
