Is my aeonium getting too much sun?

I got this beautiful โ€œemerald iceโ€ aeonium a few weeks ago. At the time, it had a main area and a smaller side growth, both relatively flat. Over the last few weeks both have grown upwards. But the smaller shoot has all but died and the larger one has half dead black leaves when I lift the uppermost ones.

Itโ€™s outdoors and gets about 5 hours of direct sunlight a day, watered every 2 weeks (per the appโ€™s suggestion). Not sure if itโ€™s getting too much sunlight, or if there is some other issue, or if this is normal. Any ideas?
5โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
I got this from Google though Iโ€™m not sure if it will help.

โ€œAeonium Emerald Ice is a relatively low-maintenance plant that requires well-draining soil and infrequent watering. It prefers to be grown in full sun or partial shade and can be propagated easily from stem cuttings. This plant is often used in rock gardens, succulent gardens, and as a potted houseplant.โ€
