Is it also dropping leaves? I had similar looking leaves but the money tree was also dropping leaves. Ultimately it was too much moisture sticking around in the pot so I repotted with perlite and water less frequently!

It has dropped a couple! It sounds like even tho I’m waiting til it’s dry I should still be giving it a few more days of dryness!

It really looks over watered. Sunburn wouldn’t selectively affect certain leaves. Every leaf facing the direct sun would get some damage.

The moisture meter may not be correct. Verify with a wooden skewer or chopstick pushed all the way to the bottom of the pot. Let it stay in the soil a few minutes. Then, remove the probe. The wood will be wet showing the water line in the soil. Water only when the wooden probe is completely dry. PlantyAnn has uploaded the detailed testing method several times.🍀🪴
