It's probably just droppibg old leaves in favor of new ones. You can cut off the dry leaves

That’s typical for lavender. I can’t remember what it’s called but they do this.

It could be overwatering if the dark leaves are soft and not crispy. Check the roots for rot and smelly odors. They need to dry out completely before watering again. Give it good air circulation with a small fan to help dry the soil faster.

The pot may be too big if the root system is shallow. The plant has to use up all the water in the soil before its roots rot. You may have to repot if the pot is too large. 🪴🍀
