Maybe searching for sunlight and in need of water? Or instead of needing water may drop leaves to send energy to upward growth searching for more light.

I’m assuming it’s an echeveria. Hard to tell from side pic. They naturally lose bottom leaves but over a long time. The leaves will become totally dry and then easily removed. If not that, overwatering will cause the leaves to become kinda yellow and translucent. Then they fall off without drying up. Are either of these situations matching up to yours?
