The problem with losing refrigerant is that you also lose the oil that lubricates the compressor. Just like with your home ducted air conditioner or heat pump, this puts stress on the compressor until it fails ("burns up").
Timewise, it doesn't seem like you had enough run minutes on it to kill it. I hope it's ok.
