has the base always looked like that?

somewhat but got more black overtime

if it’s squishy that is all dead. it may be salvageable if you take a look at the roots and see what’s going on. after that i would put it in a smaller pot

I don’t have one of these plants but the base does look like it’s dying

chop the top dead part off to activate the lower nodes and it should grow fuller
