The AC will cycle off for 3 reasons only.
Wide open throttle condition. I haven't had a problem but some have reported the wide open throttle being misrepresented. I myself haven't done enough research to know if this is tied in to the throttle position sensor or some combination of vacuum switches coordinating with TPS someone please clear this up.
The other 2 are under pressure or over pressure WHICH can be caused by many parts of the system. That many miles it would be hard to tell which parts are failing it could be the compressor itself or the orifice tube being clogged.
I hate to send you to another board but there is a TRS tech article that really breaks this down nicely and I even use it for reference:
