AC System has issues Cycling ON

Rheem inside unit Ducane outside I've cleaned the Filter inside, Drain line clear, Coils cleaned.

System runs fine as long as it doesn't have to cycle on/off. If it cycles off, many times it will not cycle back on without turning off the breaker on the outside unit for about 10min. I can turn the unit off inside at the thermostat for an hour and it still won't turn on, not until I do the breaker reset.

At the recommendation of a friend that used to be an AC Tech, I've replaced the Capacitor and the Thermostat (didn't really think the thermostat would fix it, but it was really old anyway). Neither addressed the issue.

So here's what happens in the Florida climate that I live in. System won't cycle on anywhere between midnight and 6AM. I reset the breaker, and if it's early enough it'll cycle a time or two then won't cycle on again without the breaker reset. Once it gets about 9AM it's now "behind" so it runs continuously until the evening with no issues. Then it cycles for most of the evening until it mysteriously won't turn on again without the breaker reset.

I'm not the most experienced when it comes to AC Repair, but I'm not uncomfortable working with the system.

Any ideas on what to check next? What other info should I provide to help diagnose.
