Non inverter capillary mini split recharge with R410A

Hi, new to hvac and mini splits. I have a non inverter mini split that uses capillary metering and I think a rotary compressor. Recently, its not cooling down as best as it can, condenser and evaporator is clean and not blocked. Capacitor and ntcs are in good condition, I've checked.

Question is, how does one determine the refrigerant charge (R410A). I can't recover and weigh. Should I measure target superheat at the intake right before the indoor filter? What psi to charge the refrigerant at suction line? I've seen my country's tech based the charge by looking at the current draw. I don't think that's correct.
