95 Honda Civic

[iam1234]

I have a 95 civic DX with 120k. I just had the a/c recharged by a
reputable mechanic. The compressor now cycles on/off every 30-45 seconds
regardless of outside temp. The condensor fan cycles along with the
compressor. The mechanic is very certain that he got the recharge
pressures correct. What else would cause this cycling problem. BTW, it
is cooling, but about the time it gets nice and cool the compressor cycles
off and it warms.

Well, the compressor is not meant to run continously it has to pause for a while to recover and prevent heating. For how long does this problem occur?
