You have filled your pop bottle nearly to the top?
This had happened to me before. MY guess is that the yeast had stopped
fermenting and the CO2 remaining in the bottle dissolved into the tank
water resulting in a large  drop in pressure in the bottle.

I think its time to disinfect or change the bottle.
