Sounds very familiar. Just like my situation. My AC died on my 2009 Aveo back in 2020. I replaced the expansion valve, evacuated it, it held vacuum, then i recharged with R134a too. Didn't help. After Googling around, i concluded that the pressure/control valve inside the compressor was the probable culprit. Ordered a new chinese compressor (UAC) from RockAuto, installed it, evacuated again, recharged again with R134a, and it was working perfectly again. Still working today.
