Narrative:
We received a cas message about an hour into the flight. The message was baggage door seal. We simply ran the checklist and noted no loss of pressure and continued. Two hours later we were cruising at 43;000 when the cabin suddenly started climbing at 2;500 ft per minute. Memory items were completed. During the descent we got a cabin altitude cas message. ATC told us to descend to 27;000 feet and then 24;000 feet. Once we arrived at 24;000 feet we finished running the checklists; and isolated the depressurization cause to the baggage door seal. We asked ATC to climb back to 39;000 feet.
