Randomly my car's engine wont crank. I put the key in and turn it and all the lights come on on dash like normal. I can hear the starter motor click as it tries to start the engine. I don't get any errors on the dash and battery is fine. All wipers windows everything seems to be working like normal. Had the car push started yesterday, and it seemed when the car was warm I was able to turn it on fine. Tried to turn it on a couple hours later and it took 7/8 tries to turn it on. And today its not starting at all.

It is possible that your starter is failing. You can check voltage at the starter while cranking the engine. If voltage is available at the small and large terminal, the starter has failed. You can even jumper the 2 terminals to verify this.
