Cayman 718 condensation in rear lights

I own a 2022 Cayman GTS 4.0 and the rear light units on both sides periodically mist up, often with obvious water droplets, though no water swilling around as such.
Anyone else with a 718 with the same problem, and have you managed to rectify it? If so how?
I’ve raised it twice with local OPC who say they have to see the actual car when the problem manifests itself, photos won’t do. Further the OPC has advised if they clear within a hour there is no cause for concern. Can that be correct? Being able to prove they haven’t cleared within ann hour isn’t easy and it’s not convenient to head to a dealership every time they mist up.
The local OPC have checked the units, which aren’t sealed, and acknowledge they mist up but Porsche GB/Stuttgart have told them to grade them on a scale of 1-4 and only the worst at level 4 will be considered for replacement under warranty.
Personally I find it disappointing to say the least that Porsche don’t consider this a matter concern, even if only for cosmetic reasons on a car of this value. I’m told no damage is actually occurring inside the unit, but can that be so?
