What can you do if the drive in the AMS shuts down due to overload? Turn the spool to twist the filament. Ideally, twist the spool sideways twice; this will twist it so tightly that it will untangle itself and come free.
Or you can just cut it, let the printer use what is left, while that is happening untangle the spool and make sure no knots and put it back in by that time it will say its out of filament and you can insert it and resume.

If you truly have a tangle, you need to untangle it, loosening up the next few rounds only delays the problem for awhile.
Do this to actually correct the problem, and give your spool a 360 afterward to remove the twist.
