aconcepts, this confirms exactly the situation I discussed in Post #6. You have a fairly high rate of flow limitations which causes the machine to increase pressure, even when you don't have apnea events. It's not your fault, and there is not much you can do about it, your machine will always seek out the maximum set pressure.
You need to ignore the chatter that has been in this thread and keep EPR in your settings. You are currently using EPR of 1, and I would encourage you to use 2 or 3 as this actually helps with flow limitation. You had a very low rate of apnea and hypopnea so I do not suggest reducing pressure, but if you add to the EPR we will watch to see if that allows more events. I assume the lower maximum pressure is more comfortable for you, and it certainly is effective.
If you're interested in learning more about flow limitation, it is discussed in the Beginners Guide to Sleepyhead

This is not a severe example, but your breathing wave-form will have flat or downward sloping peaks. This shows how you can zoom into the flow rate, and it is also explained in more depth in the Organizing Your Sleepyhead Charts Wiki.
