This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The setting to “Show only filter options that would produce results” in a View with custom search can result in expensive queries on larger sites with several filters, and the last update of Views/Blocks included efforts to optimise these to make them maximally efficient.
It seems that in some cases this has led to the setting not working at all, in particlar on the initial page load rather than when changes to filters are applied, such that filter options include options that would lead to no results.
Solution:
This is fixed in next version of Toolset Views/Blocks plugins, currently you can try the patch file of below erratum:

Hello,
I assume we are talking about a taxonomy archive page, and you are going to design the WordPress Archive page with classic editor.
If it is, please check these:
1) Dashboard-> Toolset-> WordPress Archive,
Setup one WordPress Archive for the taxonomy "product-category" with custom search form.
2) In above Toolset WordPress Archive, section "Custom Search Settings", enable option:
Let me choose individual settings manually-> Show only available options for each input
See my screenshot limit-options.JPG
This is a site that has been working for years. It has many archives and views on it with filters. If the settings are different now, why are the defaults different than they have been in the past?
That means I need to go make changes to hundreds of filters on dozens of sites to get them all back to working the way they have for many years now.
More importantly, I set the setting to hide the options that won't produce results and they are still showing. I cleared cache and tested from more than one browser.
Go here: hidden link
Check 12 MIL Residential
No results
Attached image shows this archive's search settings.
Hey Scott,
We've noticed the same issue, only Googled this morning and found it was a recent issue and your ticket.
Fortunately we are rebuilding a site and I thought we'd broken something, so still had live sites on exactly the same setup. Filers fine on those until I updated Toolset...this broke the filters.
I spent 5 hours yesterday looking for the issue our end...seems to be an update issue? Waiting to hear back from support ref this 🙂
