Cuddly cactus has these spots on it. Is it from overwatering or something else? It’s in a sunny spot with cactus soil.

    It’s possibly root rot, but I don’t know much about cacti, I could be wrong

    Possibly rot. What I would recommend doing is cutting the cactus back until you don’t see any more rot, then sprinkle cinnamon to prevent bacteria and fungi. Then place the tip back in soil.

    I would do some research on that specific variety. Some cactus naturally get those brown areas but yours seems to be yellowing also. If it's soft at that black spot I would be concerned for root rot.
