Lost our duck / Incubating her eggs

I unfortunately am not experienced in hatching so cannot help, but I’m following along and excited to see the little ducklings!

Update.
I managed to get it to stay at 75% so here's hoping it goes down to 70% like it should. I was kind of hopeful that someone would have posted some advice on getting the humidity where it should but oh well...

Have you put in sponges or wet washcloths?

I've never done that for any of my hatches. I never saw a need to do so as I've had great hatches

Another update. It's now at 69% and hasn't changed yet

I do it if I can't get the humidity up.

Just checked the eggs on camera and one of them was moving like crazy. It seems someone is very eager to escape the egg

I decided to start lockdown at 7am. Unfortunately I can't keep humidity where it needs to be. It keeps jumping to 80-82% when I haven't done anything.
The only thing I've done is remove the egg turner and add just a tiny bit of water to raise the humidity to 70%. I haven't touched it since then.
It stayed at 70% for a half hour
It's currently 8:25am

Did you use a calibrated hygrometer?
I never ever go by incubator readings
They are often off more then on
What kind of bator is that ? ( little giant ) if so I run those and use a hygrometer for Lizards
Calibrate then only go by it
