Even with ramping down the air flow for humidity control it would still, on occasion, hit the overcooling limit of 3 degrees.

Our Carrier system in The Villages has a built in humidistat but does not have a variable speed air handler and single speed compressor. I am a bit disappointed that The Villages "cheaped out" on that - for a small incremental cost they could have speced the better air handler. Ours system, by default, will overcool by 3 degrees.
I'm not as concerned about over cooling by 3 degrees as I am about setting the humidity too high. What is yours set at in "away mode"? Thanks. Maybe I'm overthinking this.
