I see how it looks that way as I did say I lost a full octave. It's not really a full octave but it's not far from it. My range is normally to a G above high C.

No, my chops are not shot. I'm not tired at all. I play all 4 sets, but for some reason my lips don't vibrate when I try to play over that A, leaving me no other choice than to go down one octave. As a matter of fact, into the 3rd set I might actually get some range back.

This is the part I don't quite get myself. It's not always like that, but sometimes. I said it's a quirk..
I believe that there's something muscular going on in the chops during the 3 hour break causing me to have problems.

Quite normal when playing on company events where you need to rig up before the company dinner starts.
