I'm currently playing on 1.16.2 Java and I found 2 cave spiders spawner close to each other, about 20-25 blocks away from each other.made the farm and it works splendidly yesterday, today I login, the spiders wont spawn at all. I found another spider spawner not far away from the 2 spawners farm I made and that spawner still spawn cave spiders. I dont know why the farm I built suddenly stop working. Tried to light up all places and I don't see any nearby mobs walking around.[/p]
The other spawner I just found, I can make it work, but not those 2, its working before but stop suddenly. [/p]
its 9x9x9 built
Spawners aren't affected by other mobs, just the kind they spawn and only ones that are within 5 blocks of the spawner (a 9X9X9 cube).
They are affected by light and of course need the player to be within 16 blocks to spawn anything.
If it's dark, they aren't surrounded by cave spiders and you are close and they don't spawn they must be broken somehow.
Check if the spinning mobs inside are still cave spiders. There was and update that changed spawners to the default, pigs, though that was a long time ago but perhaps they can glitch.
If it's a glitch and in singleplayer you might consider it fair to "cheat", just to fix them.
If they have something other than the mob they should you should be able to fix it by clicking on them with a creative mode cave spider spawn egg.
If they still don't work then breaking and replacing them with new ones and then clicking with the spawn egg ought to work.

Just testing.
