Can AUTO mode damage A/C from frequent shutdowns?

Perhaps member Doug can enlighten us a bit more, but from what I know about my Coleman Mach 1, regardless of the fan mode, etc. once the compressor cycles to Off there is a 3 min time delay before the compressor can restart again, this to allow time for the high-side of the compressor to equalize (or bleed down) to the low-side, however can’t say whether this attribute is driven by the air conditioner or by the t-stat...
