And that is exactly WHY there are GFCI requirements in wet locations... It did its job to protect you.

There is normally a reason for it tripping... I have replaced a failed GFCI outlet too. Sometimes simpler to start looking at what is in use at the time - it could be a faulty extension cord, appliance, etc... GFCI is not 'over-current' - it is 'leakage' to ground.
