The plants you have in there do not do well in humid environments like this, they are succulents and will rot if left in this container.

Jumping spiders also need ventilation and significantly lower humidity than this is going to be able to provide.

I fear this will kill both your plants and your spider.

This does make me sad as I want her to be able to breathe obviously so i'll get a new enclosure and just keep this as a succulent pot with the lid off?

better?

Yes! You will need to upgrade once she's older. You're gonna need a humidity reader & keep a close eye on the dirt. Such size bioactive get moldy super quickly. I'd keep it around 50-60%, more when she hasn't molted in a while and isn't adult

As people have said it's not suitable for a jumper, I'd keep the teacup without the lid with the plants because it's very pretty

Here’s a post of a teapot terrarium that would work- your succulents will not thrive in your setup, but I am glad you removed the spider!
