Hi,
If you haven't already, try turning off the "Only active when application is focused" setting:
Additionally, when the assigned keyboard shortcuts stop working, do the built-in shortcuts, such as CTRL + P (brings up the Preferences window), continue to function?
Are you able to assign a new keyboard key, or does the Assign Keyboard Controller window fail to detect any key presses at that point?
Warmest regards,
Hi,
If I understand correctly, assigning keys works even when shortcuts no longer work.
When shortcuts do not work, make sure that you are not editing a property, such as being clicked into a Pin Value field:
In such cases, all shortcuts are disabled to prevent mistakenly triggering a shortcut while typing in values.
To make sure you are not in any fields, press the ESC key twice.

Hi,
This is really strange as we have never encountered such an issue before.
When this happens, do the built-in shortcuts continue to function, such as CTRL + P (which brings up the Preferences window)? You should also try assigning the F1-F12 keys to see if they stop functioning as well, this could give us some additional clues. Additionally, it would be helpful to know if physically disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard fixes the issue.
Another program may be hijacking the input keys, but that would also prevent the assignment window from detecting keys:

Hi,
That is quite unusual.
When this occurs, are your Processor Load indicators in green?

A high processor load could cause dropping frames, which might lead to missed key presses.
Additionally, do you have multiple keyboards connected, and are all of them visible in Edit -> Preferences under Keyboard Devices? Even when the assigned keys no longer work?

You might also want to try turning off the "Only active when application is focused" setting there.
Lastly, check whether the assigned keys appear in File -> Properties under Keyboard Assignments when they stop working:

Warmest regards,
