DHCPv6-PD runs on the upstream side of your router and acquires
prefixes; the router then distributes (sub-)prefixes on the inside of
the router. If the upstream changes what it sends, it can screw things
up.

Prefix sizes, lifetimes etc. Though to be honest I can't think off the
top of my head anything that would stop RAs.

I'd be looking at what the upstream is sending (IFF you are using
DCPv6-PD). If you really haven't changed anything in your LAN, then it
must be outside your LAN...
