Nest Thermostat 3rd Gen AC works for a little while then no air comes out of the vents - Fan running

Installed it a few months ago during the winter.  During installation I switched it to cool briefly just to verify the compressor came on, and it did.  (Bryant single stage 113A)  Now, when I turn on the AC, it runs just fine for a certain amount of time, (15 mins?) then all of a sudden air is no longer coming from the vents.  Compressor is still running, and the fan on the furnace is screaming, and cold air is coming out near the top of the furnace.  My basement is now plenty cool, however, I really want that cold air upstairs. 😉  Current wiring and power readings attached.  I also tried switching the red wire to the RH and it did the same thing.  I have turned off EVERY learning, eco and away setting I could possibly find, still no good.  Brand new air filter as well.  This is maddening when it's 96 outside today.20220520_093525.jpg20220520_093041.jpg

Hey all - thanks.  It absolutely wasn't the thermostat, just timing.  My line is freezing up.  After messing with the wiring for the 3rd time, I finally went downstairs and looked at the furnace and saw the line frosty right out of the  evaporator.  HVAC guy coming next week.  😉

When you set it to cool, the blower turns on, and the outdoor unit also turns on?

Does the outdoor unit stay on when it stops supplying cool air to the other floors?

It sounds like your system is staying on and supplying cool air but is being stopped by something in the ducting.

Do you have any type of vent controls, baffles, or humidifier/dehumidifier bypass installed?
