This isn't very exciting but I just want to confirm that it's the correct move. I'm familiar with the villain and have over 2k hands on him. He's not a rock but he's not LAG or terribly over aggressive.

Villain has a 2% 3Bet range, so I'm certain that when he 4Bets me, it's AAxx. Even though I have KK with good side cards, he's short, so I fold. Pro poker tools show me at 32.78% vs. AAxx at 67.22%. I'm assuming that if we're 150 or 200+ bbs deep, it's a call?

i'm a newb and just started studying seriously about a month ago (half way through Jnandez's small stakes book).

i believe it's correct to fold. in fact, Jnandez has an example in the book of hero 3-betting the BTN open and then getting 4-bet. he says that overall, single-suited (ss) Broadway pairs should fold ~85% of the time. you do have great connectivity, but the ss of your hand + the fact that you are 99% sure villain has Aces means this is a fold for me.

if we started the hand with 150+ BBs effective stakcs? i'm guessing we can call bc we have one good suit and solid connectivity. that said, if villain has Aces, we get hurt by 'proximity' and are less likely to flop a very good straight draw with a flop containing an Ace being less likely (i do understand that an Ace on the flop could mean we're up against top set which is obv a bad result).
