Digital (top shelf) and analog (bottom shelf) have both been reading 62, I have a pound of %65 HF beads spread between top and bottom and 6 %65 bovedas, 2 in each drawer. Currently ziplocked in with a %62 boveda and reading at 60 so I might need to adjust it up, but only been sitting for about half an hour. How long should it take to get an accurate reading?

I always recalibrate every time I change batteries. Just to make it faster, I always put it in a tupperware just big enough for it and a boveda of my preferred RH, put it in a dark place and come back in like 3-4 hours.
