@Verlitas Oh dear. He or she doesn’t look so good. How often and how much do you water? Is the soil soggy? It is possible that’s it’s only in transplant shock but it looks more like wilting from overwatering and not enough sunlight to me. Did you check to see the roots were healthy when you repotted? If not, I would start there and have a look at the root conditions to make sure there was no previous rot or fungus. If they are firm and white, which they should be, they are healthy. I’d also start with new fresh soil. Don’t reuse the old. hold back watering for a week so it can acclimate to its new environment after putting in fresh soil. I have a few of these plants I even burnt/ scorched a few babies I had propped over the summer in an outdoor greenhouse that got too much sun but they have all recovered nicely after 6 months. You may also consider increasing the amount of light the plant gets. I have most of mine less than 3 feet from a window that gets bright indirect light throughout the day and I also have grow lights which I chose to install to supplement their light for winter. The first three photos are the on plants that were scorched. The last two photos are the mother plants. I hope this at least helps with some suggestions so you can figure out what’s going on with your baby. Good luck
Definitely looks like overwatering. They really need to dry completely before watering and need a nice well draining soil. Since they are semi succulents, they will start to drop leaves when overwatered. Semi-succulents means they hold water in their leaves. To much and the leaves drop off. This can happen with underwatering as well but I can tell by your photo it is not that.
You will have to check the roots she may have root rot. Either way you should repot her in a well draining soil yours looks much to heavy. If you want my soil recipe let me know and I’ll share it with you tomorrow. It’s in my soil recipe book. This is one of mine.
Here the steps you will need to take.
1. Remove from your pot, to check the roots. If there is anything brown black or mushy you have rot and will need to cut it all off. Keep only the healthy roots they will be whitish in color
Now root rot comes from a bacteria that forms in your soil and then attacks your plant. So treatment is absolutely necessary.
2. Cut off all affected roots soak what is left in:
1 part peroxide + 3 parts water and leave in the peroxide mix to soak for 5 minutes this will kill off the remaining bacteria. It will bubble pot and fizz this is good it’s killing the bacteria.
3. Next is soil the best choice is to throw it away. It’s safest. Or bake it for 1 hour in a 200
Degree oven, not the greatest because it REALLY stinks. But it’s effective. Or the most risky way is to thoroughly flush your soil out with your peroxide mix twice! You need to be very careful and do it thoroughly because if even a teeny bit of bacteria is left your rot will come back.
4. Now the pot, it also has that pesky bacteria you must scrub it out with soapy water very well and then also scrub it down with the peroxide mix.
Now you can plant her again. Be sure to add some perlite to your soil for aeration. This will help oxygen reach those roots and avoid bacteria growth in the future.

Watering every 9 days in Winter is too often. Go for once every 3 weeks.
This time let the soil dry a bit more. This will help the roots to dry off. You don't need to do any fancy stuff with repotting, and stressing the plant further. The plant still looks OK.
Good luck.
I water mine: once every 3 weeks in Winter, once every fortnight in Spring and Autumn, and once every 8 days in Summer.
Greg app is notorious with overwatering.
