I am still tired and I use an asv and I get under 1 ahi, When I look at my flow limit, it doesn't look to have the same pattern all the way, can the flow limit be an reason that I still feel tired?

I also thought an asv would fix your airflow limit.
Hey I am still tired on Asv and my Oscar says almost 0 Ahi, but I am curious if it can have something to do with my settings, which affect my flow rate which make me tired still, or whatever it might be, so I would like if somebody would look into my settings, and come with some adjustment that might help me.

By lining up your right hand side charts vertically (events at top) (and mask leaks), it looks like a quick, large leak causes each of the disordered breathing patterns you show close ups of. You could have simply rolled over and changed positions with caused the mask leak. You recovered after that because the ASV increased pressure accordingly.
Here are some tips from our wiki on mask leaks:

See if decreasing leaks stops this. You can always upload more OSCAR charts.

Hi I know it says 0 ahi, but I am still tired, I don't know if the epap, ps mim/max adjustment might help? maybe the Ipap isn't correct, so I was hoping if someone could come with a suggestion to my settings, by looking at this picture.
What are you treating, and how did you arrive at such high PS min and PS max? Typical would be PS min 3.0 and PS max 15.0. I have merged your three threads and hopefully you will get more responses to your question and we get this sorted out. I would like to suggest some settings to try, and we can take a look at your results and decide the best way to move forward.
