What’s going with your tree is that it’s dead

This isn’t good. It might need to be cut down. It’s fungus/decay related- but some recon would need to be done to determine what started it. Usually sprinkler heads, girdling roots, excess soil at the trunk goes holding moisture.
Hire a real arborist to do a root crown excavation, assess quality of callus wood at edge of decay area, assess health of remaining crown and make a pruning or removal plan based on risk assessment.
Anyone that looks at these 2 pics and declares removal necessary isn’t an arborist.

It’s not salvageable, and needs to be removed!
