Yeah we run into that all the time, some levers will be very reliable then *poof* it's like it disappears for a month. Then it works again.
We still do consequences somewhat, but probably more for management of the situation vs. expectation of actual learning. The learning part comes through behaviour modification therapy, social stories, and stuff like that.
Always reassuring to know I'm not crazy when something they teach in every parenting class doesn't work for me.
