All radios have a distortion or oversaturation level – usually listed in their specs. For example, the PTP-800 series is listed at -35 dBm maximum – it will work at stronger levels but you will start to get dribbling errors, etc.

AF can probably handle it, but you're pushing a lot of power into the air for no reason. I'd suggest bringing it down. It will help you and your neighbors.

If I have a backhaul at what point should I start turning down the power or should I do it just because?
