I read it needs to stay within a foot of a window for sun...
6ft to light, indirect
5” pot without drainage

@VigorousPhlox Welcome to the Greg community! The pot and soil could present a problem. The pot seems too big and the soil too dense ( meaning it stays wet for too long) Does the pot have drainage holes?? A burro's tail plant (Sedum morganianum) generally prefers to be slightly pot bound and does not mind being somewhat root-bound, so you only need to repot it every couple of years when the pot is completely filled with roots; it can tolerate crowded conditions and doesn't require frequent repotting like some other plants. Other points to consider: Light: Bright, indirect light is best; avoid direct hot sun which can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water thoroughly only when the soil is almost completely dry, allowing it to dry out completely between waterings.
Soil: Use a well-draining succulent potting mix.
Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes and consider a hanging planter to display the trailing stems.
Temperature: Prefers average room temperature, avoid cold drafts.
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings.

Hi Chris 👋 yes close to the brightest light is best. Without enough light they will grow skinny and sparse rather than fat and bushy. I have some Burrows tail outside in full morning sun and they’re fine so I wouldn’t worry about too much sun. A drafty window isn’t ideal definitely if temps drop below freezing. Perhaps you could tuck a towel at the bottom of the window to help keep the draft out there. Put some duct tape or something around places you can’t plug up with a towel?? Try to minimize the cold air coming in. If it were mine I’d cut off the leggy one at the top of your photo. It’s dried out and dehydrated. I marked a spot in the pic where to cut. Pruning the plant will force it to branch and putting healthy cuttings back into the pot will fill it and help keep the soil from being too moist. You can try to propagate the part you cut off (remove the dried out part on top). Let the piece dry for part of the day then stick it in the soil. Right in the center would be good. Watering suggestion from @Ms.Persnickety is right on 🙌. Have fun, enjoy!💀💀💀
