I think you can possibly drop the max pressure some, especially if you don't hit it normally. It shows in settings 6-20, but it appears you're basically at 6 all night. 99.5% says 6.04.
You could maybe get away with Max 12 or so. I am not saying if it changes anything either way though.
Still give thought to Min up to 7 so EPR 3 gets to work unhindered.

If taping your hose up above your head helped you might want to buy a cpap hose holder that keeps your hose lifted up all the time. If you search 'cpap hose holder' on Amazon, the first one that shows up, made by North American Health and Wellness, is the one that I use. There are many more, both cheaper and more costly. Mine works just fine.

That is quite an interesting result from the hose placement. Very glad it is working well for you.
Let us know how it goes over the next few days. It is a good data point to file away for future use.
