Any chance there was water on the leaves and it got sun? They could be burns too. I have a couple that look like that I think from being outside but fungal was my other thought too so I’m interested to see what everyone else thinks.

It does kind of look like brown rust spots, but it could also just be from water/oils on the surface while it was under strong direct light. If you think it’s fungus, cinnamon has been pretty decent at preventing fungal spread in my experience.
