Watering woes, which can be caused by inconsistent watering can leave your peace lily dehydrated or drowning. The plant will protest with brown spots - peace lily’s should get watered once a week, you want to make sure the top layer of the soil is moist. Don’t let it dry out for long periods of time, but don’t overwater it. Misting is a good idea as well to provide some nice additional moisture.

It could also be mealy bugs and thrips!!! You can try mixing a few drops of insecticidal soap in a horticulture solution and spray it on the plant. Another method is by taking rubbing alcohol and water and apply directly to the spots with a cotton ball or spray bottle. Hope this helps ❤️‍🩹
