Makes me wonder if reducing the exhalation effort might help, I would try raising EPR to 3.
I would also be interested in seeing another 8-10 minute view during normal breathing, starting at say 00:45.
Here is a zoomed in view of the time you suggested.
I'll try raising EPR to 3 tonight and see if that helps.
That zoom is 21 minutes (duration can be seen in flow rate chart) so I can't see the breath detail. They do look fairly uniform so might as well zoom even further say 4 minute duration 00:46 to 00:50.

Sorry about that. Here's a better view, 00:46 to 00:50.
That is good. Those breaths show some flow limitation so it could be effort related.
Along with changing EPR to 3 I would also increase min pressure to 8. Although this seems like two changes it is actually only one since the important pressure is EPAP which is set pressure - EPR.
