Humidity Question

Humidity Question
I have a question about humidity with these ResMed machines. I originally used 'Auto' for the tube and humidity levels, then in the winter switched to a high tube temp and a humidity at 6. Last week I went back to 'Auto' since it is summer now here in the NE US and was having a lot of moisture on my face which caused the mask to shift sometimes.

My question is, have folks had issues with humidity too high or 'Auto' not enough. I was getting a dry sore throat on 'Auto' these past few days, but liked the way it felt during the night. If I keep the humidity at 6, but turn the tube temp down, would I see rainout? Curious to others thoughts.

I had the same problem with the AUTO setting. I have been using the setting on the left successfully. It is about the condensation point in my climate.
