Chicks hatching, humidity too high??

So we have peeps and pips, and it's time to leave for work. The temp is staying around 99, but the humidity is up to 75-85% and hasn't been below 69% since lockdown.

Is this too high? It will have to be left alone for the next 8 hours.

Well, we just went with pulling a vent plug for 15 minutes or so to drop the humidity down to 70%. Now that there's a lull in hatching, it's staying a bit lower, so hopefully it will be fine til I get home.
And hopefully not dry out either

Always something to fuss about.

And I took tomorrow off from work, thinking they wouldn't hatch til tonight & tomorrow. Oh well.
At least a few of the shipped eggs are hatched/hatching, plus the few homegrowns.

Good luck, hoping your humidity holds out ok!
