Is my baby rubber plant dying??
#Peperomia
The rest of the leaves look okay but this one is starting to change colour a bit and thereβs new small brown spots. I watered her for the first time yesterday (new plant mom).
Brought her home a week ago and her soil was damp at the time.
I donβt get much sunlight where I live so I kept her on the window sill for the first time last night too.
Did I over water or is it something else?? Please help, thank you!!!

I agree with @elisenavidad , your plant looks ok based on the photo. And while they do typically like plenty of bright indirect light, yours should be fine getting some direct sun since it's in an east-facing window (morning sun is much more gentle than midday or afternoon sun).
It's not uncommon for their leaves to have imperfections. Some subtle color change is also normal. If you're still worried about overwatering, the quickest way to confirm is pulling her out of the pot to check for root rot (darker color, mushy, and/or a foul smell). If you do find signs of rot, remove affected roots, repot in fresh soil, and only water when the soil has almost completely dried out.
