So why not get it regassed? From experience it is never just a regas....

Yep, AC is intended as a sealed system, no refrigerant should escape and it isn't 'used up.

There will likely be a leak somewhere, and it's technically illegal for anyone to knowingly re-gas a known leaky system. Get it UV tested, you'll likely need to replace the condenser as it's a labyrinth of tiny, fragile aluminium channels.

Also if it doesn’t get used, the seals dry out which leads to leaks apparently. To what extent non-use accelerates seal degradation I can’t say.
