Ok got a few observations here for some troubleshooting.

we always run the fanduring a shower with door open and leave the fan on for at least 30 minutes after a shower. Moisture never builds up on the mirror or anything.

i notice the wIndia sill looked odd so I opened the shade. I found moisture on the bottom part of the wi sos the sill is warped? And the caulk around the wi Dow and trim area are messed up. Now could the moisture form because the cold air is getting in around the messed up caulk or my bathroom fan isn’t removing it?

The shade being closed restricts air circulation, which in turn creates a pocket of a different atmosphere, and the resulting deterioration.
 
Well that’s fun. I assume a wi Dow sill can be replaced? Then when showering I guess open the shade more.
 
Yes, because the sil looks to be a separate element, as well as the caulking.

The time after the shower should suffice in expanding the air circulation, and a swipe of the towel across the sill will pick up any puddling.

Spell check has designated me as a target, today.
