Mine is set on auto, which regulates the humidity between 45 and 55%.
I emptied it last night around 10-11pm and just finished emptying it again, this morning, less than 12hrs later. It is 12.68 pints or 6 litres capacity.

Yesterday was another cloudy, rainy, damp day and today is as well. We also have central air, which, as most likely know, also helps dry the air up.
