I assume u took those reading and are not relying on the label for one of them.
motors have starter capacitors. a change in their value with age can cause a change in power factor which will change apparent watts.
a higher load on the fan caused by dirty condenser, filter, etc.
aging compressor or partially plugged freon line.
