I would cut the parts that are brown. Make sure it’s a diagonal cut.

Mine was acting up until I pulled it away from my window and gave it less lighting.

I don’t really know what’s wrong with yours but my palm died and it was because it was placed too dark and I hadn’t repotted it. When I emptied out the pot the soil was bone dry and wet in chunks and compact like a brick 🫣

I was also also told by Dr.Planta support team that my palm needed a lot of light and yours also seem to be placed quite far from the window.

I keep mine in full light and it also has brown, dying leaves 🤷‍♀️
