Bugs are a possibility, check the soil and if you see a bug (especially those pesky gnats) treat him right away!

I do not see any evidence of pests except maybe that huge chunk that's missing. Perhaps that got torn? The brown spots appear more humidity or fungal related to me. Adult gnats do not do any harm to the plant but the larvae can be a problem. If you want to monitor the gnat population, get a yellow sticky trap and see if you catch any adults. If you do then treat the soil for larvae.

Thank you so much! I do think i have a bit of a humidity issue. I will look into a gnat trap in case. Thx again
