It is beginning to sound like you could be running out of light as it gets dark. But, we still need some more details to reproduce this issue.

What AF point mode are you using? Which AF mode, Servo or One Shot? Are you capturing bursts?

What is your subject? What are your exposure settings? Can you post a sample image for us to look at?

Don’t have an image to show because it wouldn’t shoot but I changed my AF point now and see if that will fix it. Ty
