Help! What’s happening to my monstera?

She was doing great until the past two months when she slowly over time started developing these rust colored spots on her leaves. What do I do?

How often are you watering?

Every other week roughly

It looks like a watering issue to me, you may be underwatering as monsteras need to be watered every week but if the soil is still wet after one week then it may be the soil. Thai cons are very sensitive to watering issues lol mine are so dramatic.
