My succulent has started having some fungus or insect destroying it and I can’t find anywhere what it could be. Would anyone be able to help?
Plant is watered when the soil dries out (normally a few times a week) and it lives out on my balcony in partial sunlight. It has never had any problems until this black stuff starter appearing.

You are watering way too often. When you water, set it in the sink and drench it, let the excess drain, then wait for the pot to feel light to water again.

Here’s a better photo of the black stuff
Looks like some sort of caterpillar damage and poo to me. Check it at dawn and before sunset. I could usually locate caterpillars then. Fuckers try and hide in the soil sometimes.
