    Let \(P\in X\) be a germ of a complex projective variety \(X\) which has canonical singularities, and let \(\Delta\) be an effective \(\mathbb Q\)-Cartier divisor on \(X\). Then the canonical threshold of the pair \((X,\Delta)\) at \(P\) is defined as \(\mathrm{ct}_P(X,\Delta)=\sup\{c\in\mathbb R\mid(X,\Delta)\text{ is canonical at }P\}\). There is also a log canonical analogue of this, and some of its conjectured properties have important consequences in the Minimal Model Program. One of them is the Ascending Chain Condition property, and it is proved on smooth varieties in [\textit{T.\ de Fernex, L.\ Ein} and \textit{M.\ Mustaţă}, Duke Math. J. 152, No. 1, 93--114 (2010; Zbl 1189.14044)] and [\textit{J.\ Kollár}, ``Which powers of holomorphic functions are integrable?'', \url{arXiv:0805.0756}]. The author studies the analogous property for canonical thresholds on \(3\)-folds. More precisely, let \(\mathcal T_3^{\text{can}}=\{\text{ct}_P(X,\Delta)\mid X\text{ is a }3\)-fold
