Thanks for the charts. For future charts, please read the link for “Organising your OSCAR charts” in my signature. No worries for now, but it is helpful to get the correct five graphs on a single chart.
Based on what I see I would not suggest changing anything. If there is a specific complaint we can help address it.

No worries for now, but it is helpful to get the correct five graphs on a single chart. Thanks for the help. I will try and learn how to better combine the charts. My specific or general issue is which mode should i be in that is best. I've used them all now CPAP S and VAuto most recently. I was thinking that my pressure might be optimized at a lower level. thx for the input

I see no reason to lower it from the charts. If you want to give it a go by lowering it by a bit, that is a personal comfort choice.
Your current settings are working well. If it ain’t broke…

As far as what mode should you use.... which one felt more comfortable?
There is negligible difference in your results, maybe slightly better on Bipap-S, so go strictly by how you slept and felt the following day.

As others have already mentioned, your data is very clean. There is no evidence that would prompt a change.

congratulations on the weight loss.
Many people find there therapy requirements change with a substantial weight change. I lost 60 pounds in under a year. Can you post a screenshot of your Statistics page in the Monthly Report Mode and your Overview page with range selected for 3 months.

RE: Advise requested: Should I LOWER my pressure?
Your AHI is 0.0, at fixed pressure 15/10, so your question whether you can lower pressure is clearly yes. If you want to re-titrate, switch to Vauto mode and set EPAP min 7.0, PS 5.0 and max pressure 15.0, and let's see what happens. This will let us see what your results look like between 12/7 and 15/10. If you want to experiment with lower pressure support, we can get there, but as others have noted, your results look excellent.
