Narrative:
Upon reaching FL210; I noticed a hissing noise from the back of the cabin near the door. The cabin pressure was decreasing so I immediately initiated a descent and notified ATC. I was asked if I wanted to [request priority handling] and at that time; the cabin pressure was beginning to correct itself; so I said no. I just asked to continue the flight at 11;000 ft. To be safe just in case it happened again.
