It depends from enclosure to enclosure.
There is no one size fits all answer.
Close them until you reach your target humidity of over 75%

Don't really need any vent.
No enclosure is air tight. The air exchanges when you do all the daily stuff, feed, water, etc.

Only your hygrometer can answer this question.
Use some tape to cover up some of the venting until humidity climbs to where you want it.
What substrate are you using and how damp is it?

You will most likely have to cover them all and best results for substrate is fir bark. In form of reptibark or orchid bark potting media (not mix)

I do not currently use any indoors enclosures. But when I did, I only vented about once a week to ten days when there was too much condensation (to me) and my gage was pegged at 100%

I'm also curious about how much air they need.
Am understanding what people are saying correctly; if I have a reasonably air tight enclosure that opening it up for feeding once or twice a day is enough air exchange that they wont suffocate?

No enclosure is air tight. All enclosures, including closed chambers, have venting on them. How much venting is needed depends on many factors.
