The condensate line is typically occluded by water scum.

Back to science class.
Water has something called surface friction.
Add debris and dead bugs. It is a problem.
Rather tough.
back to vinegar.
Vinegar and only vinegar works best to mitigate the scum layer. If you do not, major blockages will occur.

Stop overthinking, when you decide to stop.
Ask yourself.... I have no clue what the hell I am thinking about.
Buy your vinegar. Set your phone alarm. Put it in regularaly.
Rinse your filter.

otherwise.....

Pay $100 for a dog and pony show & let some A/C repairman come dupe you.

I know what I am talking about.

Two clips. your filter is out.
Brand new $19 on amazon. Buy two.
One to use, one to clean out and dry

I even buy the capacitors.
Trust me, it takes 10 minutes.
Definitely not worth a $100 plus service call.

Electrical Engineer here. Number one service call is to change out a capacitor.
$17 on amazon
