The largest leaf of my plant - its edges have become soft and the tip is browning and curling… is this just the natural life cycle for these leaves or something else??

Could be overwatering it!

Yes, I agree with overwatering. The guttation on the tips could cause the them to get mushy. I would scale back the watering and only water when it’s almost completely dry for a while and then gradually increase to once per week and see if that helps.
