Claim 15:
16. The method of claim 9, wherein the threshold ECAP characteristic value comprises an upper threshold ECAP characteristic value, and wherein:
determining that the second value of the characteristic of the second ECAP elicited after the first ECAP is less than the upper threshold ECAP characteristic value comprises determining that the second value of the characteristic of the second ECAP elicited after the first ECAP is less than a lower threshold ECAP characteristic value that is lower than the upper threshold ECAP characteristic; and
responsive to determining that the second value of the characteristic of the second ECAP is less than the lower threshold ECAP characteristic value, increasing, up to the predetermined value, the parameter that at least partially defines the second set of informed pulses delivered by the stimulation generation circuitry after the second ECAP, wherein the method further comprises maintaining a value of the parameter in response to determining that the second value of the characteristic of the sensed ECAP is between the upper threshold ECAP amplitude and the lower threshold ECAP amplitude.
