My plant is dying and I don’t know what’s wrong

My plant pete has been dying and I don’t know what’s wrong. So it first started when his soil was wet for a very long time and when it first in a long time turned dry only in the middle though, I took this opportunity to water him because I was concerned. Then after this his soil was just wet for so long and today I watered him knowing yes that his soil still looked wet. And I come back from school and his leaves are falling off more and I don’t know what to do. I’m scared, I don’t want him to die. Please help! The pictures are from today. BTW, the first picture is only the middle part of him, the top part has a couple of leaves and his pea. And stem is still strong.
0ft to light, direct
4” pot with drainage

is there enough drainage in Pete’s pot? if the soil is staying visibility wet for a long time (presumably days??) then you need to check that first. it’s hard to see but the leaves don’t look dry so I don’t think they’ve fallen due to lack of water (likely the opposite). also maybe see if you can get some more sun for Pete. those blinds might be doing too good a job and combined with the extra water Pete might overwhelmed. I’ve been absent for my plants for a while but trying to correct course so I feel your pain. good luck and let us know how it goes with Pete!
@jr Thank you! Yeah, I checked the drainage it seemed to be a really hard piece of soil blocking it. Do I just leave him how he is for a while afterwards?

@miss_nagatoro yeah for sure let him chill for a few days, ideally until the soil is dry. a strong stem + some healthy leaves is a good sign so avoid any urge to overcorrect and soon enough he’ll be back to being happy
@jr unfortunately pete had fungus. i’ve isolated him in water and he’s went into shock but he still looks alive. distraught but hopefully..
