Oh wow, there is hope! Mine is in all the right conditions and not pulling any leaves out. By nothing you meant a similar stagnant mode, right?

It literally did nothing for years other than barely stay alive. Lol. No clue why it finally decided to cooperate. Don't give up on yours, just make sure that you don't overwater it because I just killed my other one.

Manganese sulfate is what I’ve read can be a deficiency that the palm might have
