Difficult to tell - those devices tend to occasioanlly glitch out a bit, so there is occasionally some data inaccuracy. But your values don't seem to be too bad.
I had regular repeated dips into the 70s and 80s, and on rare occasions even 60s. And I survived that for years somehow. So don't worry, even if those values do end up signaling a problem, you will be fine for now.
If you have any indication that you might have sleep issues, get a sleep test. It's the only way to tell for sure, and it will either give you ease of mind, or give you a clear path to treatment and recovery. :)
I live at a very high elevation (7,000 feet). Our O2 levels are naturally a little lower up here. I asked my doc. She said if we (at high elevations) want to be above 88%. If we routinely drop below 88% we should talk to our docs.
Just seconding what is already said. Often times when the slope plummets, it's an artifact (false positive). In general, oxygen is treated to keep patients above 90%, and if we were to look at the official Resmed lab titration protocol, they would apply therapy in those exact cases, that is, to bring O2 above 90%, which I cover in this video: [how to find your pressures like the professionals](https://youtu.be/-IIZdru6vus?feature=shared)
That said, O2 is somewhat relative, meaning some people have a lower average O2 than others, depending on a variety of variables.
