AC Overcool Max Not Engaging

I recently had a pair of Ecobee Enhanced thermostats installed in my home. I live in the southern US and am gone for weeks at a time, so I want to use the AC Overcool Max to manage the humidity. Unfortunately, I've yet to get it to actually engage, which makes me believe I've put the wrong settings in place. I'm using the following for both thermostats:

  • 58%
  • 2 degree overcool
  • Eco+ is enabled

I know I've exceeded my humidity threshold multiple times for two reasons: 1) I'm using the humidity as a Homekit trigger for ceiling fans that have turned on while the AC has not and 2) I've set alerts for 65% humidity that Ecobee has delivered without the AC turning on.

I'm hopeful someone here has insights about settings that may be in conflict with one another. TIA
