Since its bottom leaf it could mean it’s just older. Brown edges make me think water/humidity though

It looks to me like it’s just an old leaf shedding. I would still monitor the other leaves for brown spots or yellowing.

no other leaf is browning so you could be right. it’s been pushing out new leaves too

Overwatering or humidity (I would recommend getting a humidifier if you don’t already have one !)

Humidity issues!!! Consider a humidifier or pebble tray and make sure your checking the soil and making sure it’s staying moist but not soaking wet

Chinese evergreen are pretty easy. I have mine in my low light bedroom. That looks to be an older leaf making room for new babies. Have you seen or had growth recently
