Pressure increase - misterp - 05-25-2020
Why did my machine increase pressure at 22:15? The increase caused a leak that woke me up, but I don't see an event that would have triggered the pressure increase. Is the machine able to detect something that I am not seeing in the data? I'm a little irritated that it woke me up for no apparent reason.
Thanks!

That's hard to tell from your chart. It could have been due to Flow Limitations which will raise pressure, which some people are sensitive to pressure swings.
The next time you post a chart, get rid of the calendar and pie chart, so that the rest of the data will show up.
Graphs we like to see are Events, Flow Rate, Pressure, Flow Limitations and leak rate.

Revised charts attached.

It appears leak rate and flow limit were on the increase before the time you indicate you had an issue.

misterp,
Look at the Flow Limit graph, you can see it lines up with the pressure increase... along with the leak at the same timing which probably woke you up.
Be sure to always add the left side bar (minus pie chart and calendar) along with the graphs.

Because the flow limitations appear to be somewhat clustered, I'm curious whether you think they might be correlated with your sleep position, either sleeping on your back or tucking your chin toward your chest (whether on your back or on your side).

Your numbers are excellent, you asked about numbers.
Here is the million dollar question asked by the Vulcan Science Academy, "How do you feel?"
Does the pressure change bother you?
We can limit it boy lowering max pressure, or
Get. BiLevel such as the VAuto with it's him capability of higher PS
