yup! flowers don’t last forever. i would cut the flower spike off at the base and give this a repot into some orchid bark - it looks ready.

This sounds to be the perfectly normal end to flowering. The flowers die and the spike begins to brown and dies. I usually wait until it’s dry and then snip it off close to the plant. Now the plant uses the energy for growing roots and leaves.
