I am researching on this, could the weird patterns on the flow rate be sleep on-set Clear Airway events? I did wake up at 4:10am that night and then slept at 5:04am according to my Apple Watch. Thanks

It could be "sleep wake junk" if it occurs when you are either trying to fall asleep or wake up. Sometimes the brain does not do a perfect job of handing off voluntary control of breathing to involuntary breathing and vice versa. Some glitches can occur.
Also, when low or no CA's are present on the sleep study, then the CA's can be treatment emergent as well. This type resolves in the majority of cases withing a few weeks or even months of the brain adapting to the new air pressure.

Thanks for the input Jay. I agree that could be what is causing the CAs.
I slept with the following settings: 7-20 cmH2O, EPR 3 full time. Ever since I changed the response to standard, unconsciously I started taking the mask off during the night. Anything else I can adjust? I am still not feeling well, daytime fatigue and sleepiness is still there. Any other recommendations? Screenshot attached from last night.

Ramp of 6 cmH20 robbed you therapy time on every one of those 6 session starts.
