I woke up this morning and realized I had misplaced the condensor and dryer in that cycle, so thanks, that makes the whole thing make a lot more sense (particularly the liquid/vapor part).

We did have gauges on it last night, and we believe there is a slow leak because we charged it in the evening (so the temperatures were very close), and we were testing it in the evening. That should make any difference in pressures due to temperature be fairly small.
When we charged it, the compressor was pulling the low side down to about 30 PSI, and when we tested it last night, it was pulling down to 25 PSI (20 PSI when we jumped the temperature switch to turn on the aux fan).

I'll take some high side pressures today, hopefully.


Good news is that my dad is back onboard since it seems to just be a leak.
