I pretty mich have the same on 1 plant since months.
It was a mix of gnats, then root damage and overwatering from neem and fertilizers. I never haf any problem with this behave if i have some insects but i just moved and my ph here is above 9. so i would say that your soil is fxcked. Ph out of control and maybe some unrecognized gnats.
These brownish coloring is Mostly from damaged and brown roots. This can only come from overwatering, false fertilizing, false ph or gnats/soil insects.
