You are low on AC fluid. Buy a bottle of AC recharge with UV leak detection and search for the DIY in the according section. Its not difficult to recharge, just don't overfill. If you have a leak, consider going to a shop.

Now that you have ruled out the obvious, the main suspect is detected overpressure triggering failsafe shutdown of the compressor (from fluid overfill or clogged system or toast pressure sensor).
