Not yet. The system should not get much over 45psi when it is running, especially when it is cool outside. You probably overcharged it, which is not good for the compressor or the seals. When the gas heats, it expands and the pressure increases while the volumn stays the same.

You need to find the leak.

Remember to run the engine at 2,000 rpm for a few minutes to get optimal cooling.
