The digital sum of 9k is always a multiple of 9. For most numbers below 100 it is actually equal to 9. Numbers such that the digital sum of 9k is 18 are listed in A279769. Only every third term of the present sequence is divisible by 3.
The sequence of record gaps [and upper end of the gap] is: 100 [a(2) = 211], 101 [a(221) = 1211], 111 [a(4841) = 11211], 111 [a(10121) = 22311], 111 [a(15752) = 33411], ..., 111 [a(45133) = 88911], 111 [a(50413) = 100011], 211 [a(55253) = 111211], 311 [a(110000) = 222311], ..., 911 [a(380557) = 888911], 1011 [a(411049) = 1000011], 1211 [a(436976) = 1111211], 2311 [a(840281) = 2222311], ..., 8911 [a(2451241) = 8888911], ...
