Are you getting extra hot water? If so that would mean the controls are not shutting proplerly and that would cause the temperature sensetive breaker to trip. If the water is not too hot I would imagine the control is bad. Just like any other breaker that starts tripping when it is not overloaded. Happens when they get OLD. Usually the bottom element is the one that does all the work. You can check resistance on and element and get contunity and it still be bad. Not hard to pull the element and take a look at it if you turn the water off. I have changed many of them and never drained the water heater. Just have to have everything ready to go when you pull the old one. You could have a bad lower element and a bad control at the top. What is the temperature of the water coming out and is it near the temperature setting on the upper control. If not you are getting an ealy trip due to the control being bad. Remember when the upper control is satisfied then it completes the circuit and allows the lower element to work. As long as cold water is entering the bottom of the water heater and you are not using enought water to push the cold water to the upper section of the heater the bottom element is the one working. Check your water temperature. Compare it to the upper thermostat setting.
