How do you know its no longer running? A good sign the compressor needs replacing is intermittent warm air cool air cycles. Or it just quits for periods of time.

soo the system might just be low on the cold stuff and/or has a leak

#314508 Any word if its cycling? cool>warm>cool>warm.... I'd go with what Teal said, there is probably a leak somewhere releasing some pressure. Probably an O-ring somewhere.
