Humidity Too High

So I went to grab a stick out of my humidor today and the hygrometer read 83%. Now, yesterday there was nothing wrong. Everything was peachy. But today, the humidity inside jumped like mad.

So I pulled out my tube of Heartfelt beads that I have been using in that humi for probably going on two years now. I dried them all. I wet down half of them. Left the other half dry. Put them back in the tube. Tossed it all back in my humi.

A few hours later, the humidity hadn't changed. I pulled out my hygrometer and am salt testing it incase something crazy happened to it in a day.

In the event that there is nothing wrong with my hygrometer, what do I do? Should I remove the beads for a while? Should I leave it open and allow it to air out? I don't have anywhere else to put my sticks. Should I maybe toss them in a tupperware for a while until I get the humi situation straightened out, or will they be okay?

Help?
