One thing to keep in mind is that every time you flush you are removing water from the tank, that decreases the pressure. If your system is not holding the high end of the pressure, that is the issue. Above advice is a great starting point.
Typical tank air pressure ranges from 20 to 60 lbs in a cycle, depending on the tank and system. Pressure should be higher when it is full of water and the pump is off. You can recharge the system if it is low.
Remember, when checking the pressure in the tank, it needs to be completely empty of water.
I have the same setup, with a 30 gallon tank and it kicks on every 3rd flush or about 5 min into a shower. I do not have a pressure bleed issue. Will hold tight for days at a time.
Check that the pressure switch is actually triggering at the correct settings. Debris in the pressure line (small copper line running to switch) can cause pressure issues as well. Just know that if you remove an end, be ready to catch a solid stream of water!
