Bosch Condensing Unit Slow Fan

I just moved into a newly renovated home this week. It's been a hot week so I set the thermostat down 5 or so degrees, the first time I've really paid attention to the A/C system. Later, I noticed the house was actually slowly warming instead of cooling.

I went out to the condensing unit and noticed the fan was running much slower than other units at other homes I've lived at. I also noticed that the copper line running out of it was essentially room temp (ditto for the copper line in the attic). After flipping the condenser breaker, the fan ran at a much higher speed and the copper lines got cold. A few minutes later, the unit clicked and returned to it's slow speed.

I checked the fuses on the boxes next to the outdoor and indoor units and all appear in working order (multimeter arrives tomorrow to confirm). I also changed the air filter. Any thoughts on what could be happening?

Including unit specs below:

Bosch Condensing Unit: Model# 8733955036

Unico Coil Module: Model# M3036CL1-B

Unico Blower Module: Model# M3036BL1-EC2

Thanks for your help!

Clogged Stormwater Lateral

Has anyone had luck with DC Water clearing a clogged stormwater lateral pipe? Or is there a good way to clear this myself? I submitted a ticket and DC Water said they would check the mainline, and if that was clear it would be my responsibility to clear.
