No, it literally stops. There is sand in the top still. In the last episode, Okarin notices it and you can see his eyes widen as he is wondering wth is going on, but his thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of Moeka's gang of men. But, more telling, even before he leaves to go up on the roof, they give you a shot of the hourglass...and the sand has stopped flowing. Whatever caused that to happen started well before the goons entered. The question is...what? And they very pointedly gave us a shot of the very same hourglass this episode with the sand flowing normally.
