Hey!
i just spent 2 hours making a iron farm in minecraft, to my relief it worked! I made like 40 iron (on spawn chunk btw) and then I walked to my home assuming since on spawn chunk it would continue to work, after about 2 hours I come back and it is stalled at 52 iron. Iron golems stopped spawning so I then did the following to try to solve it:
-Checked area using commands to make sure no iron golems are living near by
-Killed villagers and replaced (took forever)
-Killed Zombie and replaced (took forever)
-Restarted Server (This is running on Aternos server but only me uses it atm because friend who is going to play hasn't had time to join yet)
-This one is interesting: I tried making a iron golem above where they are supposed to spawn but when I finished nothing happend! I then tore it down and re did it on ground level and it worked. I then went back up and did it and it worked, very weird. but no iron golems spawning yet...
I really need help fast! I also didnt change versions or do any mods or anything, just vanilla minecraft.

EDIT/UPDATE TO PROBLEM:
I just tried replacing all the beds and then closing off the zombie from villagers so they would sleep in beds and then opening it and it worked! I then left to head back home to test if it would continue come back in 30 minutes to see two stacks of iron and hear a iron golem dieing which meant it is still working... but then... everything stopped. I tried repeating bed trick/block off zombie trick again during day and night with no results so it is now broken again.
It seems as if this may be that when I reload these chunks the beds reassign but since I can't "refix" it makes this really weird, keep in mind these are spawn chunks.
I will continue to update this as I find stuff hopefully I get mod/admin/dev to respond soon!

"Help, my iron farm is working" is not a valid bug. It would be best if you could include more information about how exactly the farm is supposed to work, and why it has stopped working. Then the devs can directly work on the cause for the failure. A world download would help as well.
I have the same Problem.
I built a Iron Farm like in this Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5jH0HEF0pM
The Problem is the farm worked great for a couple of rl days but when i recently afked at the farm over night i got just like 3 stacks or less over a time period off 9 hours.
The Farm is at the location X-180 Y100 Z-35
World File is zipped on my onedrive. World is on a 1.15.1 official minecraft server.

Update on 21.01.2020:
It seems like the cartography table which is lower then the other 2 tables makes that one of the villager is losing proficiency. i'll do some testing on that and update this comment.
That could also be why some people say to replace the grindstones, cartography tables, etc.
Testing will be done in 1.15.1 and in 1.15.2
I have the same problem, but this video by Kysen explains the problem and how to fix it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zfhmu_2_zg
Basically, you need to regularly reset the line of sight of the villagers (by inserting a block between them and the zombie) because although they appear scared by the zombie ITO their behaviour, the game does not register their relationship with the zombie. By blocking their line of sight briefly, everything gets reset. I have been playing with two different iron farm designs over the last 3-4 days and both periodically stop working. I think this fix makes the most sense.
Yeah, it just happened to me, I was also on an Aternos server, but the fix still works. Version was 1.16.4
Aternos servers are usually modded and as such unsupported here.
I've closed this bug report as invalid since the issue in the OP stems from the line of sight of the villagers not being reset, thus they're unable to work/sleep in order to reset their golem timer.
