The pot does look large. Check for root rot, excessively wet soil and swampy odors around the roots. The amount of soil is excessive if the roots can’t use up the water in it. The current pot should only be about 2 inches wider than the previous or the roots will smother in excess water.

Yeah I think I'm going to downsize the pot and add a ton of perlite
