Your overall statistics show three pressure changes. Each time you are reducing the pressure range. Each time you reduced the pressure range your AHI got worse. What is the thinking behind that??

I agree ... bring your lower pressure up to atleast 6 ... then leave it alone for a few days (the settings)

However your leaks look good though!

Your pressure range is screwing things up.
The Flow Limitations and snores are what's driving the pressure increases. They're not "critical" or adverse to your therapy at this point and need to be ignored for the time being.
You'd be much better off with straight pressure.......I would suggest trying it at "6".
