Sounds like it's time for a leak check.

Probably a slow leak.  Try sealant recharge of r132a.  If you can live with
it, its not a big deal.

Check the receiver dryer bottle, near the radiator for rust/weeping r134a -
happened to me. It's about 40 bucks.  If not, it could be the evaporator -
about $1000 including labor.
