Are my cigars in trouble?

I've been somewhat neglecting them since I started school because I've been so darn busy and have hardly had the chance to even sit down and smoke.

Well, both of my 50ct humidors don't seem to want to hold humidity anymore. They are stored on top of each other, in the coolest room in the house, normally around 73 or so. Normally their readings are within 1-2% of each other, and fluctuate simultaneously with temperature.

Lately they've been around 56-57% and I believe have been down as low as 53-54% maybe? They're around 56% now.

I have a small Ci-gel jar in one, and 2 Drymistats in the other. Can't seem to get it to go up any higher.

How long do you think they could have survived at humidity this low?

I find it odd that they used to hold 60-65% perfectly, and now they BOTH dropped. I noticed this after I moved them upstairs while visiting family was in the aforementioned room I normally keep them in. It's much warmer upstairs but they haven't really been the same even after returning to the original room months ago.
