anycast IPv4 inaccessible

I have a really hard time accessing nextdns in the last few days as anycast is effectively dead in the water here and ultra low latency is unstable at best.

The trace usually ends at Era-IX for me, which learns the primary addresses via:

2 BGP path(s) available for 45.90.28.0/24

Here's how the diag looks for me:

I'm not sure what the ipv6 availability is about. As far as https://test-ipv6.com/ is concerned, I have a 10/10 score (and I actively use ipv6).

This problem really comes and goes in waves, but when it's down it's down and the nextdns daemon can't resolve anything for the periods of 15-20 minutes, which really sucks if I'm trying to actively do something.

Any idea?
