Default Heat Pump Not Reaching Heat Setting

Mine pulled something similiar a couple weeks ago. I had it set on 60 and
the temp inside was 52. I turned it off at the thermostat, then turned the
power to the outdoor unit off at the breaker panel for one minute. Then
turned the breaker back on, and reset the thermostat. It's been fine ever
since. I did call the man who installed it. He's gonna come look at it.

I have a fairly new (less than 6 mos.) Lennox CBX32MV Signatue Elite 4-
ton heat pump. For the last 2 days, the temp around DC has dropped
below 30 degrees F. My heat setting is at 70 degrees but the
thermostat never shows the actual room temp go higher than 65.5
degrees. The thermostat says "auxiliary heat on" but I don't feel any
toasty warm electric heat air coming out of the registers - just the
usual heat pump ambient air. Is there something wrong with my heat
pump, or is 70 degrees just impossible to attain if the outside air is
below 30 degrees? Anything I can tweak without calling for repairs or
voiding the warranty? Thanks for any insight.
