Is my peace lily getting too much sun?
Hey y’all, I wanted to reach out and ask for some advice regarding my peace lily. I just purchased her earlier this week, and upon bringing it home, I noticed that it was in pretty poor condition. Wanting to assess her roots, I inspected them and sought opinions from others. I concluded that the roots were healthy and proceeded to repot the plant. However, I understand that repotting can be stressful for a plant.
In an effort to aid her recovery after the rough period, I've been giving my peace lily some time in the sun at my east-facing window for approximately three hours a day. Additionally, she receives a glimpse of sunlight from my room's west-facing window, where it is usually located. My question is: am I exposing her to too much sunlight? Should I allow it to fully bounce back before gradually introducing more sunlight? I'm really eager to witness this plant thrive, as I find her flower blooms to be beautiful and fragrant, helping to keep my room fresh.
Thank y’all in advance for any advice, and happy gardening!
Notes for photos - Overall droopy appearance. Only surviving flower starting to droop. Tips of leafs becoming brown / yellow.

She need water 🪴💚 it will revive when it receives water. There is an image in #PlantInfo talking about Peace Lily.
No direct sunlight or its leaves will burn immediately. And clean its leaves with a wet cloth when they are dirty, also spray its leaves with water if the environment is very dry

@Lunatik4 Thanks! May I ask for a recommended watering amount? She was last watered on June 6th, receiving 3/4 cup of water. The problem is, I don't have drainage holes for this pot, and I have no clue when the soil is completely saturated. So, after the repotting, it never received that initial big watering, only the 3/4 cups. I hope that makes sense, and thanks again.
@RGC_Gardner Just add water until the soil is wet and let it drain. Don't forget to fertilize once a month🪴💚 She looks healthy, she's just a little thirsty🤗
