Not an electrician but have dealt with this issue over the years. Here’s some items to check:

— check that no rodents chewed wires in the wall or attic on that circuit.

— check outlets and switches on the circuit. They can go bad and more likely than the breaker itself.

— nails driven for hanging pictures can short out wires (don’t ask how I know this).

— overloads: too many items drawing too much current on the circuit.

— a faulty lamp or appliance using the circuit.

— an outdoor outlet that is on the circuit that got water in it.

Good luck.
