I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about eight months now and I'm still trying to figure out the watering sweet spot

I've had my Monstera deliciosa for about eight months now and I'm still trying to figure out the watering sweet spot. I know they like their soil to dry out between waterings, but mine keeps getting these brown patches on the older leaves and I'm second-guessing myself constantly. Does anyone else struggle with this, or am I just overthinking it? I'd love to share a photo of the damaged leaf if I could upload one here. Any tips from people with more experience would really help!
