All those greys mean you're still leaking quite a bit, and where you zoomed in looks like those are mask leaks. Mouth leaks don't taper down gently, the stop abruptly when you close your mouth.

I found this in the data and wondered if I should push the maximum up to 20? On this graph, it looks like I may max out the pressure set at 18 on occasion. Does that sound reasonable?
i'd advise you to stick to the minimum of 10 for now. let it settle in for a few nights. it's good that you're sleeping better. so let that go for a few then post some more charts so we can see how you go.

just because you bumped the 18 max on this chart doesn't mean you always will. let's see some more evidence, eh?

good luck!
The numbers at the side actually tell us that you were 16.47 or more for 5% of the night. No reason to raise your pressure above that at this point.
