I'm at 900 for reduction glass and any striking glass that can kiln strike and I think my kiln is running a tad lower. Nothing burns off for me now. At 960 I did have a problem with round beads and any raised stringer work, especially with Aurae. Before I figured out the problem I had done a whole set of non silver glass rounds with Aurae scroll work on them and when I took them out of the kiln the next day all the reduction was burned off the stringer work.

That happened to me a few years ago. I wiped the beads clean of all kiln dust but I did not take them off the mandrels. I took them back up to 950, pulled them out the kiln and just reduced them again after a slight additional warming in the flame. I keep my kiln at 930 for silver glass.
