There is water leakage internally. Possible tank or water inlet or water entering from the combo air inlet/exhaust pipe.

Our Rinnai RUR98 shakes, shushes, beeps and flashes code 12 after several minutes of shower. Turning the power off and on resets it, but would happen again after minutes of hot water use. Any idea?

Code 12 is a flame failure.
First step in diagnosing the root of the issue is to check for any separation, obstruction, or failure in the vent system.
Second step is to use the isolator kit under the heater to flush the heat exchanger with vinegar or rectorseal calci-free.
These two things are a great starting point to working on any tankless water heater. Flame failure can be as simple as the heat exchanger being clogged not allowing the sensors to work properly or the exhaust being mixed with the air intake. If the problem persists I would suggest having a Rinnai Certified Tech look at the heater.

My Rinnai tankless water heater keeps tripping the breaker then when turned back on, it begins to beep and displays a code 12. What is causing this? It is new and this is the first time any code came.

Go to Rinnai and get a manual with the error codes... for example a shorted element will trip breaker... wiring problems can cause breaker to trip... anything that causes heat on wire to exceed amp rating of breaker will cause it to trip...

How to fix Rinnai code 79

Let it dry out.
If it wont fire because of the error, try powering it off and back on. Also being new, it would be under warranty

Rinnai tankless water heater

LC is the error code that you get when you have limescale buildup in the heat exchanger. You need to flush your heat exchanger. If you have the manual for your water heater, use it. The manual to mine is attached. The procedure for flushing it is covered on page 12. I suggest that you have a certified Rinnai plumber perform this task as it requires a ciruclating pump and some hoses that you need to connect to your water heater. If you don't perform this task, it is possible that you will need to replace your heat exchanger and this is not something covered by Rinnai's warranty.
