It looks more like overwatering with the yellow sections than sunburn. Sunburn would not pick spots or random leaves. The leaves facing direct sun would scorch or burn black. The leaves partially shaded by other leaves will have partial sunburn. Verify the soil is dry all the way before watering again. 🪴🍀

If it grows and the edge stays a bright yellow (that can have a raised texture) then it might be fusarium fungus
