For context, this greenhouse is approximately two months old.
I'm near Raleigh, NC, which is pretty humid but not crazy humid and not near the coast for salt issues.
I have a bit of drip irrigation inside, no misters. Windows have been open basically the whole time, so the humidity inside is nearly the same as outside.
Is this normal? I would think stainless should take a bit longer to show this much rust.

I lived a bit north of Henderson around Kerr Lake for a while. Soils are acidic around there. Acidity can cause metals to oxidize because it increases the rate of electron transfer that causes rust. Rusting is a redox reaction.
Reach out to them. I would say that’s not normal. Mine has been up for over a year and shows no rust at all on any of the frame. A couple of screws with slight rust bits that’s it and I run misters a lot
