What could be causing this in all my cacti?

All the pots have drainage holes and I spray water on them every 2-3 weeks

Could anyone help?

The bunny ear cactus buddy looks normal to me.

It kind of has some scales, like dried up a little bit, is that normal?

Yeah maybe try chopping and try again if it’s only at the bottom.

To me that looks like they're dying back, if it's dying from the roots up you might have to cut the live parts and propagate to save it. I would assume they've not been watered enough or pests. The browning looks a lot like dying to me but the only way to be sure is to pull one some off and snap it and see if it's green on the inside or woody wood means it's too late and died
