I did ask him, odd, as we never noticed it not producing AC.
I suppose either driving conditions allowed compressor to run.
Texted her later in the day and she did say it was a bit mild once during parked and running. She assumed it was just the heat and AC not being to handle it.

Would the high pressure cutoff occur or how would one know if it did purge out some refridg. Just short of confirming by a vac weigh

High pressure cutoff will occur if the high side is above the designed level. The power to the compressor will be removed by the DME so that the high side doesn't go any higher. With the compressor not running eventually the pressure will start to go down. As for how to determine if the system actually lost refrigerant if it did a purge, you will need to evacuate the system and see how much refrigerant was recovered base on what it should have been.
