Realized I was crowding the basket after 6 months of soggy fries
Packed it too full every time until I saw a single layer of fries come out perfectly crisp in a friend's air fryer last night, anyone else make that mistake for way too long?

Could the basket being overloaded have been trapping steam and making everything sweat?

Oh man, yeah that definitely can happen. I had the same problem with my air fryer for like three months straight. I started splitting my food into two batches instead of cramming it all in, and it made a huge difference. The bottom basket was actually getting air flow and everything came out way crispier. Plus it cooks faster even though you're doing two rounds, weirdly enough.

Yeah "trapping steam" is exactly it. I did the same thing for months.
