My Ficus lyrata finally dropped its bottom leaves after two years of me ignoring inconsistent watering

My Ficus lyrata finally dropped its bottom leaves after two years of me ignoring inconsistent watering. I knew better but kept thinking "it'll bounce back." Turns out it needed way more consistency than I was giving it. Repotted, changed my routine, and now the new growth coming in looks solid. Has anyone else found their fiddle leaf fig actually thrives once you commit to a real watering schedule, or does mine just have trust issues?
