For anyone having the same problem in the future: Thought I'd update that turns out humidity actually was 90~94% and both of those hygrometers were wrong LOL. I got an Acurite hygrometer and it showed a lower percentage.
So turns out that the tub was leaking humidity with just a lid on, so I had to buy press-n-seal to completely seal the tub and that fixed the issue. It made humidity 99% after awhile and is now consistent.
