What is your question?
My air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. No matter what buttons I pushed, it still blew only hot air. Then magically it started working again. A few days later the same scenario repeated. Does that mean I need more refrigerant?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Not applcable
How long has your 2008 Lexus RX400h had this problem?

First of all, if you needed to have refrigerant added, you would need to figure out why. Refrigerant should not be missing, it does not get consumed like a fuel. It is permanently in the system unless a leak occurs which must be repaired. Now if the air conditioning system does in fact work - yet intermittently so - then refrigerant level would not seem to be a problem, at least primarily. You'll want to focus attention on the electrical portions of the system - the cycle switches, the compressor coil and clutch, the condenser fan, the interior climate control components like a temperature blend door actuator and the temperature controls.
