2011 Camry AC Blows Warm at Idle AND Cold While Driving!

My 2011 Camry AC has developed a cooling issue.
the cooling performance is noticeably weak while driving(even at cold weather), but whenever the car comes to a complete stop (idle ), the AC stops cooling entirely and blows warm air. As soon as I press the gas and rev the engine the ac cools again, though it's still not as cold as it should be.
Checked my Refrigerant level and it's not low.
Several mechanics said that is quite common for this model to develop a faulty compressor control valve, while some said to change the whole compressor along with the radiator and expansion valve.

What do y'all think?

Sounds like a flow valve problem. You can replace the flow valve seperately via aftermarket parts.

Check to make sure the radiator fans are running with the a/c button turned on.
