The soil may have settled, and/or may have been dribbled out the bottom by woodlice ( demons for it) or ants. It does suggest that there is less air in the bowl.

You can just fill up the bowl to about half an inch below the rim if the Hostas are not showing, since it makes no nevermind to them if they are dormant or underground. Putting an extra inch on them will help if it is compost you put in.

However since they should be in full leaf still, maybe they have died or been taken by slugs or critters.

At this time of year, unless you have had conditions that have caused early die back, or a variety that goes dormant early, you should still be able to see them, I would have thought. Much depends on the watering regime and location of the pot though, so I guess just top it up and good luck.
