RE: 1 year and something is still wrong (please advise)
Seems with your pressure settings you are nearly in CPAP mode. Your min is 12 yet you spend 95% of your time at 13. Have you tried EPR at all? Now, I'm new to this. So don't take my word as gospel.

95% of pressure is 13, meaning 95% of the time you are below this pressure. Don't make the minimum that pressure, too much of a change. But increase it a bit. Can you show the machine settings, might be helpful to the experienced people here. You have consistent leaks, not large, but they might effect your therapy. Also do you use a soft cervical collar, do you sleep on your side? Did you have CAs on your sleep study? What mask do you use, still the Evora full face mask?

Current pressure is already at 12 so I'll try 12.5.
Attached is a picture of my device settings.
No I use a regular pillow and yes I regularly wake up on my side.
