Carbon Filters don't last forever, you should change it at least every 2 years to get decent results anyways. If it's clogged you must have some seriously dirty air unless its very old. I have 4 year old carbon filters on my curing tent that haven't clogged, no pre filters either..

An ultrasonic humidifier using tap water can emit a very fine talc that will quickly clog a filter.

Initially I was puzzled why the fan controller steadily increased over a few days, it took me a few weeks to connect the dots.
It was surprising just how much powder accumulated and clogged the prefilter.
I switched to RO for the humidifier and no more powder.
