US traffic is being served by London and France datacenter
around 13:00 UTC most of the US traffic is being pointed to Cloudflare France and London datacenters. This causes our Europe region to sustain "undesigned" traffic and that region goes down or slows down a lot.
This repeats daily till about 01:00 UTC and US traffic is again served by US datacenters.
As the traffic goes over seas the ping for end user increases.
The only solution to controll that was to shut down the EU Load Balancer pool, but that does not resolve increased latency.
This can be seen in HTTP Traffic chart, filtering out US and selecting to group by Datacenter.
The chart directly corelates with what we see in our internal traffic analysis.

Upgrading plans can help but not guaranteed and only incrementally.. I have some testing on it and for this issue specifically Free -> Pro is maybe 20% less rerouting, Biz another 20% or so less, Argo on free or Ent is mostly gone but still slightly there. There's no guarantees though, they just need to expand capacity in the region, not many other details they've shared tho.
Having same issues , almost all US traffic has been routed to EU servers instead of US.
Using Load Balancer,
Proximity steering: Route requests to the closest physical pool.
