Rust colored spots on fiddle leaf??

Hey guys! I have had this fiddle leaf fig for probably about 4-5 years now and I have never noticed these spots before until recently!! They seem to only be on the older leaves. Any ideas? Harry, haha the name makes me chuckle, is getting ready to have a new leaf as well!
Thank you!!

From my own experience with Aloe Vera & climbing Jasmine, it could have something to do with the minerals (those look like rust spots), in your tap water. Both of mine were old, too. I sprayed Captain Jack’s Copper Fungicide a couple of times 7-10 days in a row. It’s available at Amazon and Walmart.
