Is this sunburn? It sits in a south facing window because I thought it required full sun. If so what can I do to fix it or is it too far gone?

Try giving it a bigger pot? What species is it?

It’s a Lipstick Echeveria

Sunburn: While this plant can tolerate direct sun, too much and too intense direct sunlight can cause the leaves to become scorched and discolored. Move your plant to a shady location or use a sheer curtain to filter the sunlight. (Google search)

Also try not to water it on the leaves they are quite delicate

Ok I will move it to another location. I google searched it too but I just wasn’t sure. Thank you.

I’m usually really careful about that but I have no idea how it was treated before. I got it from my neighbor who didn’t want it anymore.

Definitely not at the give up point!

I agree!
