So it worked for exactly ONE day! That is God punishing you for buying the POS Chinese junk that put Tom Kayes Shoebox out of business. You can call their tech support line...oh wait!
Now that is out of the way, spray it down with soapy water to find the leak, then use teflon tape or thread sealant to stop it. The slightest leak and it wont top off at all.

lol…not even one day. One RUN essentially. Trust me too, I’ve been cursing china up and down since it happened yesterday. I didn’t want to buy this thing anyways, I looked for brand name up and down but this was the only one I could find that reaches 4500 psi (allegedly anyways) on the entire internet (or other Chinese ones that looked even crappier). The only solid looking one I found was like two grand. I already had to return this once because the first one they sent me was missing half the parts so now I’ll be on my third one of these if I can’t fix it. I was thinking taking a wrench and removing the nut and loc tiring it back on but I wasn’t sure if that was viable or if I’d need specialty parts or o rings or anything.

Anyways, any suggestions on what might be a better model/brand that can do at least 4500-5000 psi?

Thanks for your time

Buy once cry once. Look for a used Bauer or something like it. Old Military scuba compressors can be had for a good price too. Look around.

Compressors in general , have a hard time starting against a load ,, fix your leak ,, and if ya have to build to 4500 , make ya a cold bucket ,, keep your tank cold thru the fill process
And Tuna is correct also

Yes. You need a small compressor to feed the shoebox. I use the Makita as it is quiet.
