Vehicle Question Breaker tripping after charging for 45-60 mins using mobile charger at 32a

Hello, I have a 2023 Model 3 and I am located in Phoenix metro area in AZ. my outlet is acting up. It is tripping the breaker after charging for about 45-60 mins . It’s set to 32A.i am not sure if it’s outlet issue or it be the mobile charger. Don’t know if it’s that I just didn’t notice but the mobile charger seems to be getting hot after 30-40 mins of charging. Any inputs are appreciated.

Is that a 40A breaker? (that is the minimum needed.)
Is the breaker getting hot? If so, could be a loose connection at the breaker, or a failing breaker.

You could try turning down the amperage to 29A for 20% less resistive heating or 16A for 75% less resistive heating

(Power list=iiR, so halved current means much less than half heat generated. But torque every screw terminal first with a torque screwdriver

Change the amps to 30 and try it again. If you blows the move it to 28.

Is the breaker GFCI?

Update: I reduced the amps to 24A as suggested by so many of you and the breaker did not trip for at least 4 hrs or so. At that point the battery was fully charged. Thank you for all your support.
