CurlGyrl25Mine got the yellow spots and it did turn out to be thrips 😬. They had burrowed into the bottom of the stem, maybe an inch above the root ball—I also didn’t see any with my own eyes. Ended up clipping until the stem bled, dipped in rooting hormone, and popped it in water. I gave the whole plant a good soak in hydrogen peroxide/ water solution and now have very healthy roots. I didn’t see the pests until I soaked her, they looked like fine dust floating on the top of the water bath. But I’ve also seen many other people suddenly having problems like this with their monsteras.

I have just had a look around the base like you said, and on closer inspection I can see little white bugs! Thank you so much for this advice, will treat asap x

They can be really difficult until you get the conditions just right, then they are super fast growers.
