I'm having the exact same issue. Same solenoid and needle valve, but I use a plastic check valve. I set my bubble rate before it shuts off at night. Come home from work the next day, and the bubble rate is half of what it was the day before. Frustrating as hell. Other related posts mention moisture getting to the needle valve or a low quality valve. I have had a check valve inline since the beginning, and I know the Fabco needle valve is a quality valve.
Two observations:
One, I know for a fact my co2 tank is starting to get low because my tank pressure is starting to drop slowly. These inconsistencies only started after I noticed this. Before that, I never had any problems. I was running my working pressure at 5psi.
Two, I tried what you suggested. I turned my working pressure up to 12psi, and this seemed to have fixed the issue for now.
