Looks like it’s working to me. Perhaps you added something aftermarket that draws more power than the original system requirements, and you need a higher output alternator.
Or one of the cells in your battery is starting to die, and it’s causing your system to draw more power.
Use a voltage meter across the alternator terminal and see what it’s producing, and that should tell you if it’s working properly.
