50% doesn't feel clammy to me, but maybe it would to you.
Condensation on a triple pane window sounds unlikely at 50% too.

But "sitting at" makes me wonder if the humidistat is working.

Your furnace should be cycling. This early in the season it should be
off longer than it is on.

Can you watch your humidistat and see what happens when the furnace
comes on? Does the humidity raise or lower as the furnace runs? That
should tell you something about what is going on.
