What direction is the window facing? Could be too much direct sunlight if it’s a south or even west facing window. I would move it back several feet away from the window so the direct afternoon sunlight can’t hit its leaves, but it also gets indirect light which it needs

okay! Thanks for the help.

Sunlight… but also how’s the soil? Are you fertilizing once in a while? How long since repotted?

Sometimes you just get a yellow leaf. It sucks. But it's just a variation of normal with plants. And sometimes a leaf takes the hit because two new ones are coming. In our house it's called the "sacri-leaf" because we know new growth is happening. We're weird. 😉
