I had the same thing and it turned out to be two small issues. The rear cover was not locked into place after I cleaned it and so the mesh was sitting crooked and the intake was half blocked. Snapped it on properly and the airflow jumped. Then I cleaned the front grille by soaking a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and wiping away the baked dust on the little bars, followed by a good dry time. Quick and cheap. One more thing that surprised me. If the exhaust is bouncing off a towel or the counter and back into the intake, the hot air recirculates and the internal safety trips very fast. Keep a clear path front and back. If none of this changes the behavior, the thermal cutoff may be weakening and that is not an easy home fix, so reach out for warranty service. Done.

Shrimp scampi without the drama. Boil spaghetti, then in the same time melt butter, sizzle minced garlic, toss in frozen shrimp, finish with lemon. I once tried to thaw the shrimp with a hair dryer and fused a breaker, so now I just cook them from frozen and it works. Toss it all, season hard, eat before the butter congeals. If the pan smokes, kill the heat and keep stirring.
