Which sensor are you using? Even a lowly DHT11 module should be expected to be correct to +/- 2 degrees and 5% humidity out of the "box".
Maybe try putting it on a pigtail and see what happens. Pis run hot!

are you using Balena Cloud/Grafana to measure humidity/temp?
Not really. Temp/Humid sensors are Sonoff SNZB01 and they reporting to a Tasmota flashed Sonoff ZB-Bridge.
I then scrape the values via HTTP (as I can't be arsed with MQTT) using my own hand-written scraper/exporter written in Go.
I then point a local Prometheus instance at that exporter to scrape the metrics and forward them to Grafana Cloud.
It's a convoluted route but done like that because I wanted experience in running my own Prometheus and Mimir servers, as well as forwarding stuff to the cloud.
Can't help with the Balena stuff at all I'm afraid.

@Greenbank are you using Balena Cloud/Grafana to measure humidity/temp?
Im using BalenaSense. The temperature is way off and I need to offset it (or possibly move the sensor away from the pi)
As a result the temp reading is off, which means I also think the relative humidity is off too as is that also based on temp? (currently reading 37%, dehumidifier reading is 61%)
I've tried adding the variable BALENASENSE_TEMP_OFFSET to my cloud environment but it doesn't seem to do anything. I would expect it to immediately change the values as soon as it kicked in.
