The most common causes for the A/C in a Toyota Prius to stop blowing cold air include:

Refrigerant Leaks: Leaks in the A/C system can reduce refrigerant levels, causing poor cooling performance.
Compressor Failure: The A/C compressor is a critical component. If it fails, the system will not circulate refrigerant.
Electrical Issues: A faulty relay, fuse, o r issue with the hybrid system can prevent the A/C from functioning.
Faulty A/C Compressor Clutch: This clutch engages and disengages the compressor, and failure can lead to lack of cooling.
Condenser Blockage: A clogged o r dirty condenser may prevent the system from releasing heat efficiently, which affects the cooling capacity.
Dirty Cabin Air Filter o r Evaporator: A blocked filter o r evaporator reduces airflow and can impact cooling performance.
