main server changed and australian server ( native and closest ) 6 option

hi there, i have been playing apex since release and have only just started having this issue since august 10th, when i load into apex my usual server before was southeast 1 it was pre selected being the australian server and was usually predicted to be 6 to 17 ping or ms with no packet loss and no problems to date. now when i open apex my pre determined server is ap - southeast 2 with around 40 to 60 ping / ms and south east 1 has moved to around the 6th spot on the list with around a average of 300 ping / ms. i have verified files i have deleted re downloaded i have changed to my hotspot opened the game on my ps5 unplugged my wifi router, hard reset it and everything of a sort i havent moved i have no vpns so i can not understand why this has happened it has made it so that i cannot play with my friends because on our usual server i have 300 ping and lag freeze constantly and when i host they are unable to load into the matches and when they do they in turn have 300 ping. i have tried to change accounts and even still i have the same issue. this problem is effectively completely stopping my ability to play apex and i can not get into contact with ea to help get a solution or a fix.
