Usually a sign that you’re watering too frequently, make sure the soil has dried out a little more than you have recently and see if that turns it around. If the roots don’t dry enough they’ll rot and die. It’s better to underwater than to overwater.

Btw, just cut off the yellows.. it’s never going to repair and is going to take energy from growing new leaves too

It also could be killing off the old smaller leaves to make new big ones!
