Increase minimum pressure to 9.0 and EPR to 3. The leaks are not as bad as the amazing 0.52 flow limit (95%). I suspect some chin-tucking, but we can start here. Ifyou sleep inclined or use multiple or high pillows, those are things to consider.

Hi and thanks for replying.
I always sleep on my side .
To night ( June 14 ) as you suggest I'm going to change the settings to ....minimum pressure to 9.0 and EPR to 3

I also use the same machine, but wo/heated tube.
Biotene spray helped keep my throat moist.
I start with the "Mask Fit Check" and the machine will switch to auto mode after a few minutes.
The fit check is run at a high pressure, so you may not be able to tolerate it.
I started with the full mask (at 14 cm), but I needed a higher pressure (15-20) and it had to be fairly tight to prevent leaks.
Even with the full mask I had to use a chin strap. Tried a cervical collar we had but it was too small around the neck.
After a few weeks, the CPAP fold was present around my nose/mouth and pressure on face became VERY uncomfortable.
Switched to a pillow and that worked great for a couple of more days but the one I had used had
straps that were low enough on the back of my neck that tilting my head up and down altered tension, fit, and leaks.
Switched to using a nasal mask and chin strap.
It seems the pressure is less on my throat with this configuration (after initial inflation "shock"), but
I can tilt my head up/down without any change in mask/seal tension. This is the lightest weight configuration by far.
Another issue that I had with this system was that one night a pillow fell off the bed and covered up the power adapter brick.
It over heated and shutdown the machine. THAT will wake u up! Using the heated tube will draw more power, so keep an eye
on the adapter temperature and make sure it isn't next to anything combustible.

It looks like most of your problems are mask leaks. If you cannot get that solved, it is difficult to treat your sleep apnea.
