It depends on what you mean when you say ‘all the time’. Sometimes it’s normal for an AC to operate more frequently.

Your air conditioner needs to be able to breathe. If air flow to or from your air conditioner is blocked, your air conditioner is going to struggle to work. That means it’s going to keep running.
Things that can restrict air flow to your AC include:
A dirty, clogged air filter
A bad motor
Ductwork leaks
Closed or blocked vents
You can test this theory by holding your hand up to an open vent. You’ll feel a cool but weak stream of air.
The first thing you should do is turn off your AC and change the air filter (located in your furnace). Then make sure all vents are clear of blockages.
