May not be relevant, but /r/DBZDokkanBattle had an AMA with a Bandai Social Media Manager for global here.
What u/Th3LaughingMan, the top comment in that post, was able to prove was that the pull rates, most notably on the global Buuhan banner 8 months ago, fluctuated. In this case, the chance to pull the new feature unit decreased over time. [He has done Dokkan pull rates for a long time and still does them today for global and Japan]
Global has improved since then, but I remember that banner being a turning point in being aware of pull rate manipulation.
I only play the Japan version of Dokkan so I didn't experience it.

This is quite interesting and a lot of comments are saying that after this AMA they started posting the rates on JP.

I just want to point out, by looking at the date, that this is around the exact time OPTC JP started to post their rates as apparently laws were cracking down in Japan that required them to do so.

So unfortunately this AMA might not have had an effect on JPN Dokkan but if GLB Dokkan improved after this then it is very relevant.

As a member of the community, if I may kindly chime in. Around that time there was an article I read(Came from china) where gachas or loot box typed games had to start showing rates. So it can be coincidence as well.
