Mine started looking like that when temps started climbing. Eventually they died because of the heat. If you’re checking the soil moisture by hand, and have ruled out moisture issues (which are the same for basically any plant) I’d see about moving them to somewhere cooler – either afternoon shade and or shade cloth. The black bag will add to the heat.
Not sure that’s the issue, just my two cents.

I have never successfully grown peas… They always ended up looking similar (but worse) to yours. After giving up on them I read that the roots really like to stay cool so I was giving them way too much sun.

I had this so I moved them out of full sun, they were shaded in the hottest part of the day. I nipped off the dead looking ones, if you haven’t got a moisture checker use a wooden kebab stick to make sure they are moist and not too wet to the roots. A bit of feed of your choice (if you chose to) and fingers crossed they should be OK. Good luck!
