This is the answer to the night here: it lands almost exactly in the gap the trains and the STIB bus leave, and it charges the ordinary EUR 3.00 to do it.

It is also faster than the daytime bus — 29 minutes against 54 — because the roads are empty.

Mind the 02:25 to 03:16 gap. The half-hourly claim does not hold across the middle of the night.
