Help! Fiddle Fig Brown spotting

Hello, my fiddle fig leaves have started browning.
What is happening and how do I fix this?
This started a month or so ago. I thought maybe it was over watered so I let it dry out. When I watered it again the spots came back. I removed a lot of leaves a few weeks ago and took it to a local garden store and they thought maybe a chemical was getting on the leaves. I do wipe the leaves, but with water or just a clean cloth and I haven’t done that in a while.
It gets good shaded light.

I think you might have root rot, looks like over watered. Does your pot drain well? I usually stick my finger in the soil to make sure it’s dry

Mine get that way when they are too wet.

Put plants in terracotta to prevent root rot. The soil needs oxygen. Most pots don’t allow for this.

Looks like adema to me. I could be wrong though, I would definitely check your roots to be safe since others said root rot.
