Does anyone know what is happening with this poor guy? He...

#Echeveria
0ft to light, direct
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 weeks ago
Oh no! I don’t know how to help! Maybe a little less light?
Ok this happend to mine not too long ago
Water him vigorously and let it drain then after it drains stick him in a ziplock bag and set him in shade. The bag will keep in the moisture without overwatering
Check back in a couple of days
Thank you! I am definitely leaning more towards sunburn and hope I can save him.
How often are you watering it? If they are translucent and dropping it could be from too much water. The black on the leaves is usually a result of water on the leaves, and the plant being in strong direct lighting. I can’t remember the name of this, but @vvvelo told me about this once.
If it turns green than It needs brighter light.
Your echeveria is starving more light. Not enough light also has led to watering issues: probably slightly overwatered.
Do not put the plant in the shade, and absolutely do not suffocate the plant by putting it in a ziplock bag. This is a succulent. It hates the moist environment, and it needs fresh air to breathe.

Thank you all so much for the help as I seem to be a terrible plant mom.
I have always had issues with overwatering, so with this new group, I have been watering all of them once every 30 days.
It is definitely possible that water has gotten on the leaves but I did buy a different squeeze bottle with an β€œL” shaped nozzle when I bought the succulents.
They are put in strong direct sunlight (Southern CA) especially after watering but only about 2 wks a month.
Sorry it’s such a long response😬
