One thing you can do is take a clamp ammeter around the 220 line and measure the amps.
On mine I measure 6 amps, which probably shows some loss of refridgerent

As far as I know, there is no consumption of refrigerant in any
residential system.

If you're low, you have a leak. You fix the leak and refill. There
is no periodic topping off of refrigerant that got used up, can't
happen.
