Default ac going off after being on for 30mina

I have an 05 s40 2.4 I had this issue come up last year summer ( live in Texas 100+ degree) so i got it reshimmed worked great now its doing the same issue again. Could it need another reshimming or bad clutch?

I'd reshim until it no longer works before spending the money on a new clutch. How much are you looking at to reshim yours?

Check this thread and tell me what you think. Done yourself it's less than a buck. Shop prices are about $100/hour and compressors run $300-$500 depending on reman or new.
