Im in UK and mine are now entering dormancy but often individual plants just do their own thing, they can be weirdos!

When succulents go dormant, their leaves start turning yellow because the plant is breaking the chlorophyl molecules into Mg ions and nitrogen. This happens before the leaves fall off, because it’s efficient for the plant to take nutritional stuff out of the leaves. I don’t see this, so it’s hard to tell.
What i see is that one of the leaves seems curled up. This is a normal reaction for many succulents, because this way they lower the surface of the leaves and therefore can minimize water loss through transpiration.
