Damn this is an expensive week for me.

(Sad Smile, I know the feeling)

the unit; more that my house is very open and it would seem that due to
the climate (this AM: almost 90 degrees and 57% RH outside; now, 77
degrees and raining) the humidity in the whole house is higher than 55%
and trying to suck it down to that is taxing the unit. Any real problem
just leaving it at 60% and letting it go, even if that isn't "ideal?"

Thats what I would do. The alternative comes to mind that you may want a
second discretely placed unit inside the house?
