According to the documentation a baker should receive 1/8 XTZ for making a revelation operation. As a solo baker I have baked about 8 blocks so far and as such I would expect to have received a total of 1 XTZ for revelation rewards, however I don't appear to have received any.
I am certain I had no downtime in this period so I am curious to understand why I would not receive any revelation rewards.
I think the baker who generates the revelation does not earn anything (it just doesn’t lose its other rewards). It is the baker who includes the revelation that receives the reward (usually, in the first block of the next cycle).
If you have a smart baker, you could delay your revelation to your fist block in the cycle.
Also, not all blocks trigger a revelation. Only every 128 blocks is a nonce generated, that will require a nonce revelation in the next cycle.
according to the doc : bakers generate and hash a random number using commitments made during cycle (n-PRESERVED_CYCLES-2), in one out of every BLOCKS_PER_COMMITMENT = 32 blocks.
As a baker have to add a nonce_hash in only one out of (BLOCKS_PER_COMMITMENT = 32) blocks.
take a look at that block 315648 notice the field Nonce Hash is filled with nceUnQLqWXyD7JA1LFDgeHmCbqoDLPs31LHU2mz7s38RSBAZ5exVZ
the revelation for this nonce is present here the nonce is c4e2802f96467b65750e4e110824f39a5c200b69198e279d704a083980cc538c
if you look at the next block 315649 the field Nonce hash is empty if we take 32 block ahead so block 315680 we see again that there is a nonce hash
You should look at your baked block to check if you have indeed commited to a nonce hash
