Pothos only size up leaves when they can  
-grow vertically and attach their aerial roots  
-get plenty of light  
-receive sufficient nutrients  
If yours is downsizing leaves then the vine is too far from the closest established roots and just doesn’t get the nutrients and/or water required for larger leaves

Check and see if it’s time for a repot. You may need some fertilizer or fresh soil.
