I think you would need to look at your data in SleepyHead to know for sure. However, in my experience I typically get a really bad AHI out of the blue when I have a bad sleep for some reason, and I keep waking up.
Do you know what portion of the AHI is obstructive apnea, and what portion is central apnea?

The main thing is to keep an eye on it and make sure it goes back down again. There a several different reasons I can think of that could cause this, but if it's a one-off then the cause is somewhat irrelevant.
If you had a serious mask leak issue it could cause your AHI to go up. For example, if you use nasal pillowsor a nasal mask and your mouth was open a good portion of the night, you would have severe leak problems that would affect your AHIs. Severe enough and the machine can't compensate.
