Same is happening to mine. I’d love to hear any suggestions!

I’m guessing you have cats based on your name? Is it possible they got to it? This looks very similar to the plants my cats have gotten their teeth into

Entirely possible it was one of the cats, that would make sense.

It could be scratched, if you have pets. Low humidity can cause dry cracked leaves. Pests can chew it. Aging or a combination of the above.

You can just snip that damaged leaf. The plant will fill in that spot.
