That's definitely not a feature.
However, did you have below 0°C/32°F temperatures ?
And do you have the inbuilt heater connected and powered ?
What works with others who had the phenomenon - and no heater activated
- was, taking it down, drying it inside/indoors and it worked again.
Mine has its heater activated since recently and went through a minus
centigrade degree period followed by temperatures up to 10°C.
and - no issues.
Once activated by the inbuilt thermostat starts the heating when the
temperature drops below 0°C and keeps on running until the temperature
goes above 10°C/50°F.
That seems to avoid not only the freezing but also the condensation
water inside.
I guess a replacement you can only ask for, if you have the heating
implemented (what quite some people don't seem to do, wanting to save on
the rather expensive power supply for it
[a decicated power supply unit]).

the top of my ecowitt ws80 (the light sensor) has partly filled with
condensation and stopped working. the rest of the ws80 is still
working. is this ‘expected’ of an exposed ws80 (how else to get UV?)
or is it a fault (demand a replacement)?
