Humidity hasn't dropped for several days, should I be concerned?

I know, I know, yet another humidity question

I have a Hovabator with a fan, and after filling up my central tray, the humidity was too high, so I covered a part of the tray. So far, so good.

The humidity dropped steadily for a while, but it has been sitting at 33%-34% for a few days. I'm thinking it's probably out of water, and the humidity is a result of the air in the room that's being pulled into the incubator by the fan. Is this likely? Should I just leave it alone and not even open the thing for a few more days?

I read that some people don't add water unless it drops to around 25%, but I'm just wondering why humidity level is not dropping at all inside my incubator right now.

I think you are right, your water wells are probably empty and the resulting humidity is from the room the bator is in.

Are you weighing your eggs to monitor moisture loss?
 
We pretty much run at 40% to 45% then up it to around 60% at hatch.

If it were me, I would add water tot he center trough only.
