A/C failing

We've had a string of 90 degree days so I'm starting to use A/C for the first time since September.

The cold air comes out very sporatically. It will never immediately blow cold air, although the fans will come on at full speed right away if A/C is needed (climate control set to 65 while interior of the car is 100+). After several minutes of driving, it will eventually come on, no set time or engine temp though, very random.

After a while, it will just stop blowing cold air again and be blowing warm air. Then come back after a while, etc, etc.

When it does blow cold air, it feels about right, although I wouldn't call it "ice cold" as I've felt in other cars.

It's been this way for years, but I figured it just needed a recharge maybe. In November YT converted it and recharged it. It was November so we couldn't really test if that changed anything. Now that we have hot days, it looks like that didn't solve the problem. Suggestions?
