Crowded network
During prime time, routers along the way queue up packets and delay grows.

Connection quick guide
Why your Sea of Thieves ping gets worse at night
If your Sea of Thieves ping is fine in the morning and bad at 9 p.m., the problem is congestion: your ISP's route fills up during prime time. Your PC and the server haven't changed. The path has. Switching routes during those hours usually makes a difference.
Same server, different path
The Sea of Thieves server hasn't changed. The route to it is just crowded.
