I had a similar issue and had to swap out my TPMS to rectify it.

you might have a slow leak with the bead of your tire that meets the rim. take it to a tire shop they can find the problem.

Clearly your wheel has an air leak. If you want to know exactly where it's coming from, remove it and either submerge it in a tank of water and see where the bubbles come from or mix a few ounces of dish soap into a couple of gallons of water and pour it over the tire and see where it makes bubbles. There is your leak.

The sensors have gaskets that if disturbed or not replaced, can crack or leak. Hairline cracks in the wheel and corrosion in the wheel's lip at the bead area all common causes. Find an installer than has a dunk tank. Fully submerging the tire/wheel in a tank of water and looking for bubbles is best way.
