I'd check your drain pan in the attic. If it's wired like mine, It cuts off the compressor output (installed in the Y line) but the indoor fan continues to run. So if the unit pan is close to full, it will intermittently cut off the compressor contact like you are describing.

I forgot to follow up. This was the issue. The pan was full. Emptied it and the issue was resolved. Saved me some $$, so thank you, kindly.

It’s just going to fill back up again and stop again unless you address the root cause of your issue.

The root cause is more than likely that your primary drain is clogged. The pan is a secondary drain that is just there so your house doesn’t get water in it when the primary drain is clogged.

I figured this was the case. I’d get a tech out to just diagnose your system. The compressor shutting off and on repeatedly can cause issues with the compressor. The last thing you want is to have to replace a compressor. Doesn’t hurt to just have a check done

This. I wanted to stress it again. Those shut offs just slow it down, it will often times still overflow/ flood. So you need to get that cleaned out and situated asap to prevent future water damage.
