Mouth taped....so the only other source for leaks is mask movement.
Please allow me to disagree. I've certainly had mouth leaks despite my mouth was taped.
To examine the sort of leak just zoom in the flow rate.

Disagree all you want. You don't know how I tape and with the way I tape there are no mouth leaks.
If/when I tape....any leaks are mask movement leaks when the tape is secure. Nothing gets through. It's sealed.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

Putting in a new water tank (the tab on the old one which held the top closed was broken) did not make a difference either.
Unless the machine itself is bad, the only option left is that I am sleeping too soundly. I did not realize before that that could be a bad thing, but apparently sleeping lightly is what kept my large leak number 0% instead of 15%+ in the past.
