Air conditioners only appear to put cold air in to a structure when, in truth, they remove the heat from the air that is pulled in to them that is already in the home before this same air is placed back in to the structure with its heat removed. What happens to the heat that is removed? It is carried by the refrigerant to the outdoor coil where it is supposed to be released to the outdoor air. The problem with your air conditioner sounds like the outdoor coil is so stopped up with dirt and other items that the heat in the refrigerant can not be removed to the outdoor air. This causes the internal refrigerant pressures to build up so high that protective devices shut the unit down to prevent it from doing any harm. The night time air temperatures outside are low enough that these refrigerant pressures do not reach this "cut out" point, which allow the air conditioner to operate normally at night. What is the cure? Clean the outdoor coil with a water hose (not a pressure washer). This will remove most of the dirt and debris that is compromising the removal of heat from the refrigerant.

Why does window fog even when warm air is blowing on them on car windshield?
Warm air contains more moisture than cold air. The air hits the cold window and the moisture is deposited on the cold glass. It is the same effect that causes your glass full of a cold beverage to start to drip down the sides.

When a moist warm air inside a room, comes in contact with the cold glass of a window, the moisture in the warm air cools and condenses as water droplets on the cold glass surface. This is the cause of a window misting over.
Why does water condense on your window in winter?
The phenomenon that causes water to condense on the windows in winter is the same as what causes water to condense on the outside of cold glasses. Because the cold glass of the window (or the cup) absorbs heat, the air around it is slightly colder. Because cold air can hold less water vapour than cold air, water condenses and gathers on the window.
How do you circulate the cold air from a window air conditioner to other parts of a house?
