Comment on Until now I thought drying filament wasn't that important

There are probably cheaper bulk options–but I personally bought some 50g satchets that change color when they start to saturate, for convenience. 3 of those keep a large bin dry for a few months depending on ambient humidity and how often you open it.

Yeah, you can easily order okay to decent quality silica beads for $6-15 a pound(~400g). Same colored stuff that is in the satchets, that you can dry in the oven or even microwave.
You might be good, but thought I’d mention it in case you were going to restock or others wanting a bunch to stay safe.
