I’ve had a few orchids and they all did this….I believe it’s just part of the process. Old flowers wilt and fall off, new flowers bud and grow!

Yes it might just be time unless it’s been shocked somehow

I agree with the others as long as the leaves are still firm. The flowers typically yellow/brown when they fade.

Amazing thing about orchids that people never realize is that you can keep them through more blooms. People toss them out after the season ends. What! Lol
