I watched a 3D printing youtuber say that Adam Savage said 20% but 10% is what he uses.

I have never seen my sunlu dryer show anything bellow 23% even after days of use and I have no idea how to achieve 10 without cooking the filament.

As close to zero as is functionally possible. There's no benefit in not shooting for that target, even if it is unlikely you will actually fully achieve it.

I store my rolls in a tote with a gasketed lid, with a generous amount of silica gel desiccant. Whatever spool is in use I feed directly out of a heated filament dryer.
