It sounds like you refrigerant level is low. At rest, the pressure equalizes in the system. After you start it and turn the ac on, it pumps the refrigerant through the system and builds up pressure on the high side and pulls the low side down until it cuts off on the low pressure cycling switch. If you have to add to the system, then you've got a leak somewhere.
