Thanks for getting back to me.

So as it stands, I should just leave it?
The freon pressure about 30psi (just in the "full" when using a gauge). I just bought some more froen, as I thought that was the issue, but maybe I don't need it?

If it's blowing cold I'd leave it alone, compressor cycling is normal when on "Norm" and "Bi-Level". Pressure doesn't show you how "full" an AC system is. To be done fully right you'd need to evacuate the system pull a vacuum on it and refil it with the proper weight of refrigerant using a scale. Pressure also varies based on ambient temperature. For the average shade tree mech a pressure reading can be close enough but if you want it done by the book it needs to be weighed when going in.

Mate, thanks for letting me know.
At this stage I will just leave it. The levels on my gauge haven't dropped in 6+ weeks and it is blowing bloody cold, so it is good enough.

I appreciate your time and help!
