This snake plant suddenly started dropping and some parts have been turning yellow. Any tips?

My initial thought is that it may be overwatered. I use a moisture meter before I water mine, just to make sure that the soil is completely dry. Often Planta recommends watering my Dracaena too soon and I snooze the task several times until my moisture meter reads dry. Good luck!

Looks overwatered and it’s soil looks like it might hold too much moisture. I keep sansevierias in a mix that’s 50% pumice to succulent mix. This appears to be a pretty peat- or coir-heavy mix.
