My humidity just wont go down 80%!

i'm using a 25qt sterilite and my humidity just wont go down 80%.

i have very few water left on the bowl but a bit above 80%!

i have holes all over the sides do i need to punch holes on the cover too?

I had same problem. Mine would stay at 83 percent. Didnt matter with Aspen, Newspaper or paper towels. I even had a lid with holes and plenty of holes on the side. Nothing mattered.

I then researched here and was told I was golden. That having 83 percent humidity would not be a problem and that I didnt need to do anything unless the humidity got so high that there was condensation showing up on the tub.

When I needed to lower humidity though I had to turn on my ceiling fan. That was the only thing that lowered it. Extra holes, holes in the top different substrate nothing else would lower it.

I currently maintain 73 percent with my fan set at low, but I kept it for weeks and weeks at 83 and based on what I was told here, it would have been fine.
