Mine was doing the same thing. It’s overwatering mainly but it also can be caused by not enough light. If you haven’t repotted it recently or at all, I would repot it and give it new soil as well and maybe some fertilizer! That has been very slowly helping mine.

I will also warn you that there’s a good possibility that some of these leaves are gonna end up falling off and dying completely. I promise if you just take care of the plant as a whole ok it will survive.

I had the same problem, but I started adding Silica to the water and NO MORE BROWN SPOTS. I read on a post it's because of the varigation in the leaves. I thought it was over watering as well, at least that's what the app and others were saying. But I tried EVERYTHING and the only thing that stopped it was the Silica. Hope it helps.
