I looked at the circuit breakers outside and couldn’t find any tripped breakers which leads me to believe that it may be the main power breaker that’s gone bad?

1/4/23: The humidity is higher than I like to see it at 64% inside so I turn the thermostat down to 75° and to ensure the AC system would run.
