Are there any known issues with refrigerant (AC "freon") leaks on G05?

Bought a 2019 G05 about 2 weeks ago. AC seemed fine then, now it's not. I checked pressures with some borrowed manifold gauges and sure enough refrigerant seems low.

Does the G05 have any history of leaking refrigerant that may direct me and save me some time in my search for a potential leak?

We have not seen any that I can recall.

Thanks, I had my fingers crossed but wasn't holding my breath. Just used car issue I guess.
