This is exactly why you can't use pressure alone as a diagnostic.

You need to call a contractor to do the required work on the refrigerant system.
Well, at 80-F OAT & @ a condensing 150-psig there is very little heat being ejected by the condenser. Since suction is high the compressor isn't getting its job done, 'unless' there is a restriction between the suction service valve & the compressor; it's possible that the compressor inlet screen is being partially plugged with solder, etc.:det:
Is the compressor running up to speed,?
Is it a TXV or piston flow rater refrigerant metering device?:pop:

Put enough freon in it and it'll be "swimming" in freon. And guess what? That compressor can't swim!! Call a professional before it drowns. P.S. This is NOT a DIY-site!!-----------:beat:
