AC Problems

AC Problems

Without seeing the car for yourself, could you infer what my car’s problem is based on the following information?

2017 Mitsubishi Lancer ES Manual 121k miles. Frigid air is intermittently provided while on max AC setting for a 1-3 minute period, followed by degrading performance over the course of 10-30 seconds, followed by my AC indicator flashing. My manual describes this as “a problem is detected in the air conditioning compressor.” What problems could this be? I don’t think my compressor is faulty as I intermittently receive frigid air. I have a clean cabin air filter. Mechanic detected leak in both service ports and replaced both, then serviced system to proper levels. Problem persists. Faulty pressure switch? Actual pressure problem? Next steps? Thank you in advance.
