either it’s fainting for attention or im pretty sure it’s under watering i hope this helps goodluck!

Could be lighting but is probably a watering issue. My Pearls \& Jade Pothos did this after thriving for many months. I removed the dead leaves, chopped and propped many of the vines, then started watering it a little more often and so far, it’s doing much better.

Also, carefully check for pests on or behind those yellowing leaves. I see spots behind some. It’s not clear in the photo.Check the roots. Is it drying out too much between watering causing some roots to die off?

Agree with all the info here and also could add that the goldens really like to dry out but not for too long and I’ve noticed mine do best when not in direct sun
