Not sure why your graph is blacked out like that.
From what I can see on the left side, your minimum pressure of 5 should be moved up to at least 7 or 8cm.
Your leak rate is too high. Can’t tell from your graph if it’s due to mouth breathing or mask leaks.

I agree on moving the minimum pressure to 8cm. Wow that black background sure brings out the colors!

I just wrote a new Wiki on How To Organize Sleepyhead Charts, and the How to Attach Images and Files. Take a look at my signature line.
You are having very high obstructive and hypopnea events, which tells us your pressure is COMPLETELY WRONG! Your Auto CPAP machine can do a good job, but it needs a significant boost in minimum pressure. Current settings are Auto mode at 5.0 minimum and 20.0 maximum. You have some mask leak issues to work out, and you may want to read the Mask Primer link in my signature. For the moment, let's try this:
Mode: Auto
Minimum Pressure 8.0
Maximum Pressure 16.0
If you want to set Flex, use A-Flex at 1. You are using 2 or 3, and it is messing up your therapy.

The black background sure does bring the graph lines out well. I like it.

Not sure how that background came to be but the Apocalypse can't be far behind.
