• Lower your maximum pressure. Say 12 or so. Normally I don't like lowering maximum pressure, instead allowing the machine to go where it needs to go. But there are are circumstances where limiting it should take precedent (aerophagia, CPAP tolerance, leaks,..) 
  
• Consider a different mask that is less prone to leaking (the P30i might be a better choice)
  
• Adjust pressure in your sleeping position at higher pressures. 
  
• Consider increasing your minimum pressure. This might seem counter intuitive, if pressure is disturbing my sleep and and causing leaks how will increasing it help. Often increasing the minimum pressure can keep OAs, Hs, FLs and Snores at bay and prevent them completely reducing the need for abrupt pressure increases.

Have you tried tightening the headgear to get a good seal? Another thing that works well for me is washing my face and mask before bedtime each night. It seems like your cpap is working just fine - are you new to therapy? I'd recommend turning off the ramp feature when you get a chance.

But it was the apparently the relatively poor fit of my (Full Face) mask when I moved during sleep that was causing small leaks.

Once I changed mask to something that seemed to fit me better,   the 'problem' immediately resolved itself.

I would guess your problem is all about the auto feature you have set up. --and the machine is going to your max---15 cm's for some reason

When we see the abrupt pressure increases, and then look down, we do see a reason for the pressure increase. What's not (completely) visible on your graphic is the snore graph, though that's likely the snore trace at the bottom with the tip of some snoring breaking through, that may also be responsible for some of the increases.

Consider posting the complete snore graph in future posts.

Some things to consider trying:

• Lower your maximum pressure. Say 12 or so. Normally I don't like lowering maximum pressure, instead allowing the machine to go where it needs to go. But there are are circumstances where limiting it should take precedent (aerophagia, CPAP tolerance, leaks,..) 
  
• Consider a different mask that is less prone to leaking (the P30i might be a better choice)
  
• Adjust pressure in your sleeping position at higher pressures. 
  
• Consider increasing your minimum pressure. This might seem counter intuitive, if pressure is disturbing my sleep and and causing leaks how will increasing it help. Often increasing the minimum pressure can keep OAs, Hs, FLs and Snores at bay and prevent them completely reducing the need for abrupt pressure increases.
  

Of course, when making changes post graphs to keep an eye on things, and as you build up tolerance to pressure and address leaks, we may be able to reduce the max pressure limitation.
