Same issue here, except I have been experiencing it for months. Using NordVPN helped to alleviate it a bit, but I still get lag spikes every so often (more so during metas/events with lots of players, whereby I have to switch to a different VPN server/region and hope things smoothen out). I find that connecting through Japan and US-Seattle servers work quite alright. You will have to experiment to see which server works for you, then add them to favourites for easy connection.
