I’m concerned about mine and have been doing some research. I think mine was underwatered. I was watering about every six weeks. Found out that was too long during the summer. I defaulted back to Planta’s watering schedule of every 17 days. That is about right according to the info I found online. Yours appears to be much lighter in color than mine. Have you tried doctor Planta or Google lens? I watered mine yesterday and ended removing many pads that weren’t looking good. I’m so unsure about this plant. I find it difficult to “read” what it needs. To me your plant looks overwatered. Maybe check the firmness of the stem. They are impossible to handle. The spines are wicked. I would suggest a much less organic soil. That would also prevent overwatering. I still see a couple pads on mine that may be going bad. Omg I’m rambling. Not sure if I gave you any useful info.

Just checked, according to Google lens, your plant is overwatered.
