Help!! My Monstera is doing this, droopy leaves and variegated parts browning what is this likely from? I had to repot her twice recently into better soil that was about 4-5 days ago

Is it a new leaf? The brown spot looks like a sunburn spot. New monstera leaves are floppy till they harden off. I am new to this so take this with a grain of salt.

Droopy leaves are usually due to low humidity or underwatering. Brown spots are usually caused by too much soil moisture and it will likely spread across the variegated part until the variegated part naturally falls off
