I cranked up the humidity for my last batch of muscovies and they all went from pip to zip in 24 hours. Not sure what the actual humidity was, but pretty sure it was at least 75%

75 is pushing it. 80 will kill them,

You mentioned you laid them down were they in a turner all this time until now???

I hasn't killed mine. Vets recommend that sick birds be placed in a hospital cage at 85 degrees and 70% humidity.

Last hatch was the best ever... max humidity and all went from pip to hatch in 24 hours, including the wrong end pip. No assistance needed.

Don't take this the wrong way, but where does it say that 80% humidity will kill them? I looked and couldn't find any info.

This isn't a sick duck and yes 80% humidity will kill them. I know this from previous experience. But if you want to take the risk. But besides that I can already see a problem with this hatching.

My own experience in hatching calls.

When you have a chance, please show me someplace that has info on what humidity is lethal, 'cause I can't find it. And next time I find some eggs about to pip I will see if I can get the humidity to 80 or higher just to see how they do.

@Shanaywe , better do what larcystol suggests since she'll probably be able to hold your hand through this better than I can.
