Skeleton spawners only spawn them when it is nighttime. Lightlevel is all the Time 0 because its shielded from the sun (Skeleton farm in my survival world) I tested it in a creative world, while day not a single mob spawned and after the sunset the spawner worked normal.

Yes, light level of 0 during the day, as I said it‘s a enclosed skeleton farm at y -10. I tested it in my creative world too. There it was on the Survace. There i build a 32x32 platform above the Spawner to shield it from the sun so that this spawner also is at Light level 0.
I have the same issue (windows 10) and I fixed it by going into the nether, and then entering a different portal. Then I came back through the nether hub and through the portal near my spawner. I suppose it refreshed the chunks or something, Idk.
Is this still an issue in the latest version? If so, please add it to the Affected Version/s field.
There was a bug where phantom daylight could be created in dark places when removing block light, which has been fixed. That may explain what you observed.
