In what situation can this happen?
> we realized that there was a calculation error that only manifested in scenarios where the actual ping was significantly lower than the target latency. In this situation the actual latency would be considerably higher than what is displayed on the overlay on the player's screens.
They added too much latency because they forgot to account for the latency they added in the client. You can see from their architecture diagram (Figure 4) that the latency measurement didn't include the client delay.

The blog post states: "The existing network monitoring system measured the latency at the networking layer as shown by the green arrow."
But the blog post states: "a calculation error that only manifested in scenarios where the actual ping was significantly lower than the target latency".
Because realized ping is over by as much as original ping was under, so if original wasn't significantly under...
