It sounds to me that you are watering more often then you need to.
What you should do is measure how much water you are putting down per cycle. Easy to do. Put out some clean empty cans. Cans like tuna are best as taller ones will block some of the water. Should be 1/2-3/4 of an inch.
If, you are putting down less than that the roots of your plants will not go deep so they are less drought tolerant.
Any change should be done slowly to give the plants time to adapt.
