How does HD scale?

So I recently decided to do something stupid. And by chance, I fell in love with HD and decided to keep playing because I had trouble hearing the beat of the song so I can coordinate my hits better. It did help a lot (now I feel quite comfortable playing with HD) except that I can not only play songs at the same speed I used to (before 26, with HD 28 due to timing issues, bad memory etc) but I quickly became unable to play songs without HD (and I started using HD 2 days ago!). Anyways this is kinda off topic of my subject.

I recently decided to record myself so that I can understand how I can play HD with lower speeds (I would like getting back to 26, or even 25) considering at max, with 28 speed I see the notes 4-5 frames for me to remember them. And for that I need to know how the hidden portion actually scales (I'm going to try to optimize my gameplay by doing the math for their speed, visible time, invisible time, etc. BUT I couldn't figure out how the scaling happens. The only thing I managed to figure out is that at the beginning, 74-75% of the playfield is visible, I tried taking data from different songs and it was all different. Is it based on time or something?

It is based on combo. Depending on the combo that you have the more playfield that it wont see.

I think it is caped on 500 combo. In that point you se like 35% ish of the playfield and it resets when you combo break.

Yeah, it caps out at 500. Becoming adapted to vision mods is normal too. It happened to me with HD and FL. HD wasnt so bad, but with FL I literally can't play without it any more. Honestly, if you want to improve your ability to read lower speeds, force yourself to play at a slightly lower speed than usual until it feels natural, then move down a bit slower again until you reach the speed you want.
