As a non-native speaker, the word ‘awning’ feels very rare. I have never heard of it. Does every native speaker know this word, or is it some upper class description with a more common known sibbling?
Without grabbing a thesaurus, I am not sure if there is an equivalent synonym. I’d probably expect around a minimum of 80% of native speakers to know the word.

It’s pretty common. It just doesn’t need to be addressed that often. Like towels, you’re not going to bring them up unless they’re relevant.
