older convection oven, commercial model, large-- no brand name visble, been in use for years in the same place, nothing else drawing from its circuit, keeps flipping breakers, more often at higher temps... any ideas?

I used to own a tanning salon and those beds pull lots of juice. In busy season a couple of them would trip breakers constantly. Replace the breaker itself and see if that doesn't fix. You don't say how old the breakers and breaker box are, but I would put my money on them being older or just weak. It's not that expensive to do just one breaker.
Good luck

Electrical system do wear and age, it could be that the breakers are old and are tripping below their rated load, or it could be that the oven is drawing an increased load, or it could simply be a loose wire that is causing the circuit to overheat.
The safest thing to do would be to call an electrician and have them put an amp probe on the circuit and check to see where the problem is. If it is worn older breakers they can be replaced. If it is the oven the heating coils can be replaced. And if it is a loose connection somewhere in the circuit you want that fixed anyway to avoid the chance of a fire.

First, how old is your oven? it could have a foul heating factor and be drawing modern-day in way over the rated breaker swap. in the adventure that your oven is

check your elements(heating) and/or your fan motor. one of them might be shorted out.
