Have a variegated prickly pear here that on and off looks like this. Should I repot?

It looks like it’s either overwatered or too cold because it has that wrinkly look to it so I would bring it somewhere really warm and dry and it would probably grow back even better

You can cut the long piece to even out the plant and you can get some plant sulfur and dip the ends and let it dry and plant them. You could also try a smaller and shorter pot cactus roots don’t go deep down they spread out so most of the time you get over watered with deep pots.
