Systematic slope in Leak rate - stef85a - 10-29-2024

Hello guys, I am sharing an Oscar screenshot of my nights lately using ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet in fix pressure mode (12 cmH20). I am observing large leaks, and there is this systematic slope that is making those leaks. When I sleep the leak does not start right away, meaning that the mask (Evora full) must be properly adjusted at initially.

What does this slope pattern in the leak rate actually mean ? I would expect a nostril leak to be constant or near constant over time, not a slope.

(Leak rate = Vitesse de fuite), I am using the French locale in Oscar.
