In my Endeavour Plasma installation in random times my monitor turns blank like is suspended or something. If i press a key or move the mouse it goes back to normal. I have try to configure in the energy settings but still the same
To understand better your situation, will help if you could share your hardware specs.
inxi - F could help a lot.

I see your are using Intel integrated graphics, is that correct?
Yes, thats what i am using
Unlike yours, in a system of mine, I have the oposite case. The screen doesn`t go blank after the set time. Being an old-time plasma user, I have noticed that this is happening after plasma updates (not always). All I do is set the time parameters again & the issue is solved, thereafter.
Mine is set like this and works properly.
Even with setting to 360 minutes still goes blank
The parameter’s in my system is OK, but the results are the same
What is your screen locking set to?
Settings > Workspace behavior > Screen locking

Maybe this helps?
kcmshell5 --list | grep power
powerdevilactivitiesconfig - Per-Activity Power Management
powerdevilglobalconfig - Advanced Power Management Settings

Edit: I would also look at this DPMS

Is this on a laptop?
No, desktop
These are my DPMS settings.
xset q
