One of my aloe veras are getting some dark spots.
*The pot has amazing drainage
* I have not watered in 1 and half weeks because the soil is still moist ( its been cool weather in Florida but it does get to 90-96 degrees
(11am-2pm)
* its a west facing porch, its always outside
And always getting sunlight.
Any advice on what is it causing it and how to stop it from spreading?

Are the leaves a bit soft? That could be rot. Aloe leaves should be fairly hard, if they’re a bit soft or squishy it means you’re probably overwatering it.
Aloe doesn’t really need to be watered very much, you don’t need to water it every time the soil gets dry.
I only water mine when the leaves start to get slightly yellow, which is every couple weeks during warmer weather, and sometimes up to a month or so in winter.
It may sound counterproductive to wait until it starts yellowing, but many plants prefer to just let you know when they need something lol. My aloe grows like CRAZY and all I do is wait until it tells me to water it!
