Jarring is meant to slowly siphon moisture from the core of the buds. This is achieved by letting the humidity of the closed environment equalize then opening the jar to let out the humid air, and let in drier air. If you cut off the air too soon, you're wasting days that you potentially could have slow dried and stretched out your plant's senescence: a process that helps degrade nitrogen and other compounds so if your jars read higher than around 62-64 relative humidity then you may have jarred them too soon.

As long as your buds have some airflow and moisture left in the stem then you can extend the drying process. If you dry your buds slowly and carefully over a long period of time (7-14ish days), you can get to the perfect internal humidity without ever needing to completely restrict air flow and prematurely go into an anaerobic environment. You want to stretch out the drying process of the plant so it has time to metabolize and ultimately become smoother and more flavorful. A slow dry should seamlessly transition into curing. Once the initial drying is complete, you can seal your buds up and the relative humidity will be perfect for curing and you won't need to open your jars out of fear of mold.
