There was a kernel update recently. Perhaps this is what caused it?
How often do I have to use that setterm?
Only once per-boot. You can set it anytime by echoing the number of *seconds* before blanking into:
/sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank
On servers, I use a systemd service to set it on boot. You can do it manually if you like. The change occurred in June 2018 with whatever kernel Linus released then. I created a package for Arch to restore the default back then: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/console-blanking
