A/C breaker trips whenever ambient temp is high?

The A/C on my 5'er will trip it's breaker whenever ambient outside temp is high, 95F+. It will run only 10 minutes or so before tripping. If outside temp is lower than that it will run without issue...

ON my units one breaker is a combo one is not. But as I said every time it trips it is the coils that need cleaning and I metered it with an ammeter and yes the breaker was holding at 20 amnps.

THere are two types of breakers, Magnetic and thermo. Not all are Thermo.
