Methinks that you are talking about the CDP bonus (continuous days played) which gave you 90 to 880 XPs once a day under certain circumstances.
1) As a fact, the system changed. You get less bonus XPs in the first 15 days, and more after that.
2) As a guess, you might have lost your streak due to changes in the way it is awarded. Compare your CDP display.
There are a few threads around discussing the new features. Search! =>
