PLDT subscriber here on Hitokappu. Experienced a catbomb during play at about 1500 JST, tried to reconnect via KC3 API & direct DMM, but the game always catbombs about 20 seconds into the black floating BB screen before I could get to the office.

Checking the expired API with tracert to see if this was, like last week, PLDT's fault, it appears that the request times out after passing through Japan's Datahotel ISP (203.174.66.0 - 255).

Switched to a VPN client, and was able to play the game normally with KC3 API.

Oddly enough, in spite of being on VPN, tracert still shows that the request times out, again right after the Datahotel ISP.

So, my question is, is it normal for tracert to give a request timed out result since I was using it with an expired API, or is there actually something wrong with the connection on Japan's side?
