Default Frequence autoride compressor should run?

I did some searching in the threads but didn't find anything so apologies if something is.

How often is normal for the compressor to kick on for an autoride suspension? Mine kicks on at start up and every 15 - 20 mins while driving around town.

My instinct tells me this is too often and I have a slow leak somewhere. I would think that once the pressure is set that it should maintain that psi in the shock for a while unless weight is added inside the vehicle on the hitch.

Surprised that you can even hear the compressor while underway. I'm guessing there's a leak somewhere.

Only really hear it while driving in town. Talked to my service guy today and he agreed that's not normal. Taking it in and we'll see what they find.
