Thank you Dog Slobber,
AutoSet for Her was one in my mind one of the options to change, but was trying to find others.
I had a S9 for 8 years with the same setup with a max pressure at 9.4 and in my history I never had more than 3.5 AIH. The S9 never hold the max pressure for the rest of the night like the AirSense, and
1 - Yes tonight I will remove the "Her" setup (hope I am not queer Ha Ha). I kept it because I have a small nose (used Swift Nano XS for her for 8 years) and thought that for low pressure like I used before it was a good thing.
I also bought a "For Her" because the Phillips recall only "for Her" has available.
2 - and depending the result, I will raise my max pressure by 0.5 progressively day by day.
Also, 15 minutes ago, I just adapted temporarily for a test a Evora headgear to a Brevida mask.
Easy to do, seems strong fixation, and tonight will tell if OK.
Since 2 weeks I was using my Brevida with a combination of the standard Breviad headgear mixed with my older Swift Nano headgear and everything was fine but the "double thickness" on the cheeks. Now very thin.
I will post my results in a separate thread.
The property of "holding the max pressure", or more accurately, establishing a new minimum pressure, is not a property of the AirSense or S9, it's a property of the AutoSet for Her algorithm.
You would not have experienced it on your S9, unless it was an S9 AutoSet for Her and you were using the the AutoSet for Her mode.

I suggest you switch to regular AutoSet Mode, and consider setting Soft Response, if you are accustomed to it's gentler pressure changes.
Oh and BTW, I think both your Min and Max pressures are too low.
Thank you very much Dog Slobber.
You were the one with the good solution.... HER is not for me !
As a first try I only changed the mode from HER to "APAP" automatic CPAP, but did not change at all the min/max pressure.
After 2 weeks of adaptation to my new AirSense Autoset I had my best night. AHI 1.79 !
My Brevida with Evora headgear is also good, only few big leaks, and good comfort.
