Noticed this issue yesterday evening when I got home and again today. Got home and the AC was set to 72 and cycling on and off as usual. Decided I wanted it a little cooler so I dropped it to 70. About 30 minutes later I feel the house getting warmer and more humid. Checked the thermostat and it was reading 74.
you need to replace the batteries in it once a year
when the batteries get weak, the thermostat can do some very strange things
if you dont have a battery operated thermostat, or it could just be that you short cycled the outdoor unit causing the compressor overload protection to trip and shut the compressor off, it doesnt reset until the compressor cools of

Replaced them about 4 months ago but I'll do it again tonight. Thank you for the suggestion.
