Is my nepenthes rotting?
Hi everyone!
Recently my nepenthes has been drying up pitchers very frequently and many of the leaves have been turning brown.
I have asked before about leaves drying up and have been told that it’s a natural part of the plants growth cycle, however, some leaves have been dying halfway up the plant, surrounded on both side by healthy leaves.
The stem these leaves are attached to is also turning brown.
Another thing to note is that one of the pitchers is drying up in an unusual way.
Usually the pitchers dry from the lid downwards, but this one is drying on the lid and the neck of the pitcher, but not the peristome.

1ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 months ago

It is worth mentioning that, whilst the pot is in a tray, the pot has feet to raise the soil out of the water.
The tray is also a recent addition. I added it to increase humidity as water drains, because the nepenthes I have in my bathroom is growing very well with the same setup.
Pitcher lids have been drying up recently which I assumed was because the plant was lacking water, therefore I increased how frequently I watered it. Could this have led to rotting?
