re: Reminder - get your spare A/C capacitor if you do not have one.

No, but these things don’t go out as often as this board acts like they do. I have about 30 AC units under management between my home, office, and rental properties and there’s no reason for me to keep 25 different capacitors. I haven’t had one go out in probably 2 years. So for the vast majority of people buying an AC capacitor is a waste of money.

It’s a very common issue and an after hours call to fix is going to be $250+. That’s the only reason buying one makes sense.
