You probably have a failed VR. The other possibility would be a bad diode in the alternator. Given that a bad diode requires alternator replacement, I'd swap in a new VR first. If that doesn't do it, you'd need to have the alternator load checked, or just bite the bullet and replace it.
Most alternator failures are sudden. If it's a diode, or an electronics failure in the VR, it would be sudden. If it is a brush problem, that can also go very quickly. Most alternator failures are slow.
