If you are using timers, make sure to have a "kill/reset switch" to reset the timer system if it goes screwy like this. If all else fails (and it doesn't screw up your line TOO badly), pop the Filter and replace it. Some servers are buggy with even Vanilla Redstone, so YMMV depending on the server. Honestly, the "kill/reset switch" seems to work 95% of the time, even on constant circuits.

Also, make sure that your machines aren't backlogged with items, as filters will eventually fill up with items and will refuse to accept more items if the output line/chest/etc is full. More than likely with this scenario, there is an issue with your timing and you'll have to adjust accordingly. Stop the system, purge (pop filter and reset it), and slow down timers to adjust (either by math or trial-and-error).
