Looks like the varigated portion of your pothos. What I've experienced is if your humidity is low, these varigated portions tend to brown quickly. If its dry and crispy, could be to too direct sunlight/growlight. If its soft and mushy, could be over watering. They tend to brown for multiple reasons. More info on your setup would be needed to somewhat accurately tell what's going on.

the brown spots r soft and mushy. i water it around every 4 or so days and been on a good routine with it. i have the sun coming in through the door window and the plant is on the side table

It’s overwatering , check the roots for rot

I agree. Its definitely over watering. Hold off for at least 1 - 2 weeks on watering. If the plant continues to decline during that time, remove it from the soil and check for root rot
