Can anybody please tell me why my golden pothos has brown spots like this? And tell me any advice on how to fix it? I use a grow light on it and water it when the soil feels dry. Please let me know and thank you!

Is the brown spot crispy or soft? If it's soft, it could be very over-watering. It's crispy. The light might be too close. Also, turn over the 🍃and see if there are any buggies. Fruit flies could cause it too but it will get bad fast with them.
