A/c not cooling at night

Upstairs unit, runs fine during the day and cools properly.
At night it runs for hours and hours and the temp increases. A/c guy thinks there is a leak but can't find anything. What the crap is going on?

That just doesn't add up. When it's not cooling, have you tried shutting it down for a few minutes, then restarting?

My leak occurred in/at the condenser in the attic. ~2K fix.

Like alx said that doesn’t make sense. The only thing that I could think of is that it’s freezing up? Is the fan still blowing? It is that would tell you that it isn’t freezing

Is it mildly freezing up during the day?

Here's another question for you OP, do you drop the temp at night? Many people for example change their temp from 74 during the day when they are away to 68 when they sleep.
Even if its just a 2 degree drop, that could be enough that the constant running is freezing your system up.

What you are showing is quite a puzzle...and I don't see an easy answer to it all. I am almost sure that there is an issue (either malfunction or programming) with the control of the system. Meantime, you need to check day and night to see if the airflow across the coils changes. Also need to check day and night to be sure the large line on your outside unit is cold/sweaty and the small line is hot to the touch.
Another thing that I notice is that your system recognizes whether the particular rooms are occupied or not. You need to be sure that when the kids are going to sleep, the unit does not mistake the rooms for being unoccupied and shut down the cooling...some hotels are intentionally doing that nowadays.

How long ago did you change to the ecobee? Was the issue there before? May be a setting that you're overlooking.

It’s freezing up at night. During the day the heat prevents it from freezing. Check your pipes but your unit outside.
But this is from a freon leak. Get a leak detector. Hopefully you only have to replace the coils.
