Not enough info to say exactly. Worn twine discs/holder. Weak/broken/maladjusted twine holder spring. Get out your operator's manual and read up on knotter troubleshooting. If you don't have an operator's manual, buy one here:

Item 42027315 in hard copy or pdf download. Best $20 you will ever spend on that baler.

Have you greased the knotters recently? Our 273 will start to not release the knots if its not greased regularly.

Are you using square bale twine ? If it's plastic, you may have picked up balls of round bale twine. If it's sisal, the twine may not be the proper thickness. Twine disc tension is adjustable

it is 9000 ft sisal having problems with only one side baled about 130 bales then started acting up right side works well i did notice that little pieces of twine was building up on the chamber under the left disc

Could also be that the needle isn't consistently delivering twine to the disc or bill hook. Needle adjustment, twine disc timing, broken hay dogs and/or hay dog spring. Twine finger out of adjustment.

That's why I suggested a manual. go through the systematic knotter adjustments IN THE PUBLISHED ORDER.
