Do you still keep humidity up at 400g and growing? Sulcata tortoise

Mine reached 436g yesterday, it has a relatively smooth shell

But it's outgrowing the humid hide. The substrate is a mixture of top soil, dirt, sand, dried leaves, spaghnum moss and coco fibre. I still pour like a jug of water in the substrate every two days.
Is it acceptable at this age to be less humid as to when it was smaller?

Natural ambient humidity here is already at 50-60%

Pyramiding is caused by growth in conditions that are too dry. Your tortoise still has a lot of growing to do.
