I am having exactly the same issue on Xbox series x for about 9 months now. I have tried trouble shooting using many of the methods above with no luck. This is almost certainly due to Ranked server routing, traffic management, or anti-DDoS / protection systems as mentioned above.
It becomes more frequent as soon as i hit platinum and quickly reaches a point where 4/5 games are unplayable from start to finish. I have no connection issues with any other games and my network statistics are excellent.
From what I’ve read this seems to be unique to Xfinity/Comcast and EA servers specifically for Apex and started occurring when the game switched to DDOS-protection servers for ranked. Changing the data server doesn’t help.
I’ve been a day one player and never had connection issues, but with these server changes it has gotten so bad that I took a 3 month break because it is unplayable. I tried giving it another shot this week and the issue still persists with no acknowledgement from EA on a potential fix/timeline when I’m sure this is affecting a lot more people.
