the inside pad "might" wear a little more than the outside, but not by much and in any case left & right side should look equally worn. If one pad is much more worn than the other that can indicate a sticky caliper, same if left & right are noticeably different.
50% is not bad, you can pull the wheels off and turn each wheel out and then you can inspect with a flashlight and see how much pads is remaining on the inside
my opinion would be if you have 50% or more on the outside and 30% or less remaining on the inside that would be indicative of a possible caliper problem, be it sliders, lubrication or whatever.
50/30 would be my max allowance, then I would start trying to figure out "why" because something isn't right.

Thank you! Makes sense to me. Everything was wearing evenly with no noticeable excessive wear. Swapped pads and cleaned/inspected parking shoes. All good! Now my ambient temp is reading 60° all the time so going after that. Never ending but I do enjoy working on it.

if you had the battery disconnected the ambient temp sensor will appear "stuck" until you drive it 55mph for about 5 miles. usually sets before the 5 miles but can take that long.

Did not disconnect the battery but the part ACDelco is $10 so just going to replace it and see how it goes. It did move a couple degrees.
