how much humidity is too much when pipping?

[janjan1]

I've got 11 eggs in lock down. I have 4 pipping as we speak. My temp is right on, my humidity has been great all along. It is about 80%. Is that too high? I don't want any shrink wrapped as I have had in the past. Last hatching, none made it. Two made it to pip but didn't hatch. Total loss on all 20. Since then I bought a new incubater, a 1588 (hold temp great and a turner too). So my question, just how much humidity is within good limits?
TIA

Not sure what you are hatching but for me and the silkie eggs I incubate here is what I do and usually have 100% hatch (knock on wood I just went into lockdown)
30-40% days 1-19
55% at lock down
65% at first pip
from there the chicks hatching will alter the humidity
