It looks very dry in that second photo, I would guess not enough moisture

If you were watering it so regularly but it looks that dry, it could have potentially been caused by excessive heat build-up.

Was it at a sunny window? I agree with others who say that it probably got cooked.
Also, just wanted to let you know that moss dies so easily when it is not in its natural environment. So this could have happened just because it didn’t like the water you gave it, or because it got too little light, or it got too much light or the amount of water was not as it was used to, or because of the way there wasn’t any ventilation, because it was too warm or too cold… So what I mean is moss ain’t easy lol

I think they look like they were in too much heat. Circular glass containers can build up intense heat in a short amount of time under direct sunlight. In my experience mosses in these kind of containers cannot stand even 1 hour of direct sunlight when sealed. Good news is as dead as the mosses might seem like, they can come back in 1 to 2 months under the right conditions. Not so much for the small plants tho.

Tbh and I’m no expert 2-3 times a week is too much watering. Maybe use a cork lid instead and then the condensation builds up daily and take the lid off for about 30 minutes a day. No condensation don’t take the lid off. Make sure the moss is not too dry and if it is give a little amount of water. See this as a learning curve and next time your terrarium will thrive. I’m usually hopeless with houseplants but my three are thriving. Good luck OP 💚💚💚💚💚 I have to say your terrarium did look absolutely wonderful in the first photo. Don’t give up xxxx
