Hey guys, I have a weird issue with my SUV I’ve had for 2 years. It will run fine for the most part but when I start and stop the vehicle multiple times in quick succession like running multiple errands it starts having issues. It will turn over however the RPM’s are very low but after around 45 minutes I’ll try again and it usually starts back to normal! It’s very frustrating to deal with and any help is appreciated!

Also just to clarify when the RPM’s are low it’s not drivable it will stall out after trying to rev the engine.
Get to a parts store and ask them to pull codes. With or without a check engine light, look for codes. Then report what you find so people can help you better.
In absence of any other information, I’d look for a fuel problem first. I believe your Escape is new enough that it would have a fuel pump driver module. They get mounted under the car on or near a crossmember and then they suffer the elements until the aluminum housing corrodes. Once that housing breaks open, then the circuit board gets corroded next. They can and do operate/fail intermittently like this. If yours has one, it’ll be on the drivers side and just behind the EVAP canister and hardware, IIRC.
