Mine did the exact same thing I don’t know what happened. I took the pieces that did that removed from plant and saved the tops that were ok and repotted to try and regrow

It’s so weird!! I have not changed anything

are the brown peices soft and mushy, or dry?  
if its mushy, its definately overwatering. i would repot into a well draining, chunky mix, and water when completely dry.

if its dry, im not sure, i would say underwatering, but that would probably look more like super thin and wrinkly leaves rather than a brown base.

I would say maybe under watering, They definitely aren’t mushy but they are brown and wrinkled but they are falling off the plant its self

Sounds like maybe rot from overwatering. You'd have to unpot and look at the roots
