I’m gonna bite the bullet and replace it. Of course it is a tandem 20/30 breaker that runs about $70…
You have a link to one of those?

you can also check with a clamp to see if there is a problem with the circuit, put it on max hold setting, turn the breaker on, if you see a spike on the circuit then it's downstream

Do you have a disconnect for that heater ? If so turn off the breaker and go pull the disconnect and see if it got hot, this happened to ours once and the inside of the disconnect box was melted so had to replace it plus get a new breaker.
The cause of the problem was a loose neutral on the bus bar. Might also wanna check that as well.

That’s a good place to start.
Your standard thermal-mag breakers in home panels also tend to get more sensitive the more they trip. A friend’s AC compressor would trip his breaker biweekly, then weekly, then every 2-3 days, then daily. It’s a cheap place to start even if the issue ends up being elsewhere.
