β³A-Rank Windows

All A-Ranks spawn automatically. There is no hidden condition to cause them to spawn.
However, they have a cooldown period after they are defeated or after servers are restarted due to maintenance. From there, a hidden timer is set that determines when the A-Rank will spawn. The hidden timer is randomly set; it can be anywhere from right when the window opens to when the window caps. After the window is over, the A-Rank is considered capped, or "forced", and is guaranteed to spawn. There is also a possibility that the A-Rank was killed during the window without anyone knowing/recording, in which case it would be considered sniped.
HW and onwards A-Ranks respawn at a random point between 4 to 6 hours after being defeated.
HW and onwards A-Ranks spawn at a random point between 2 hours and 24 minutes and 3 hours and 36 minutes after the servers come back online.
Please note that there is no actual way to get a precise time of when servers come back online, as this can happen before the game is accessible.
A-Ranks will despawn 24 hours after it spawned. Afterwards, the normal respawn timer will begin.
A mark is "forced" if its respawn timer has capped.
"TOD" stands for "Time of Death." It is the time in which the mark has been recorded as being defeated.
