My fiddle leaf fig finally stopped dropping leaves after I moved it away from the heating vent and stopped watering on a schedule. Turns out I was drowning it—I now water only when the soil is actually dry an inch down, which in my arid climate is every two weeks or so. The new growth coming in is huge and dark green, so I'm calling this a win after months of frustration.
