Bad Day for AC Problems

I got this email from my thermostat today. I installed the Next thermostat many years ago but have never received any emails or notifications from it. Occasionally, the 50A circuit breaker would pop, shutting off power to the compressor. The furnace is on a separate circuit, so air is still blowing from the vents, but it is at ambient temperature. You do notice after a while because it gets hot in the house. Today, my office temperature rose from 78 degrees to about 82 before I noticed. The fix is to turn off the system, go outside to the circuit breaker panel, and reset the dual 50A switch. It has always reset and kept working, but I am afraid it will not reset and it will be the hottest day on record.
