If I turn it off during the hottest days, it won't catch up until around 7pm.
I used to live in a very old, poorly insulated house with an ac unit that I know was too small for it. In the summer months, it would struggle to keep the home at 75 (it would get up to 78-79 while set at 75). It would run non-stop until about 9pm to get it back down to 75, then until about 10 to get it down to 72.
It was misery.

Ironically My house has the internally concrete walls and "energy efficient" insulation. The contractor installed a 2ton. Compressor and 2.5 ton air handler.
He incorrectly assumed that the insulation would help.
It does help with sound but not much else.
Oddly enough it quit cooling for a short period during last night's storm but started cooling after it let up.
71 at vent during storm and 60 at vent after running the whole time.
