I noticed my outside unit wasn't running, i left it completely off for 30 minutes and tried again, still nothing.

Then I reset the breaker and turned it back on at the thermostat again, instantly working and turned back on and it's currently cooling.

So the AC unit is only working after the breaker inside my house is reset.

Sorry if this is confusing, I have very minimal knowledge on this and I'm a little flustered.

Answer:

If the unit keeps doing that.

It would be good to check for any short wiring.

It is possible unit is over amping, need to find the source of that problem.
