I’ve had this succulent for 1.5 years, and over the past 4 or 5 months, I noticed the leaves getting squishier. This issue would resolve after watering before, but this time it remained continuously squishy.
This week, I was away at a conference. I made sure to water my plants before I left, but when I returned, I found my succulent looking like the pictures show.
Anyone know the reason for this?

Update:
I think it was some kind of disease.. the stem of the plant was mushy and its branches were blackened on the interior. Checked the roots but didn’t see any signs of rot though
Not enough light and maybe overwatering
Don’t water based on the look of the leaves. Wait for the soil to dry out completely and then water.
Mine had mealy bugs and the leaves just dropped off. I don’t see any but I would do a search for images just in case.
The branch on the 1st picture looks like it could still be healthy, cut with a disinfected knife until you see healthy green tissue. If there’s still rot where you cut disinfect the knife again before making another cut
It had lived long enough to become jaded
Succulents can look semi-healthy while missing their entire root system or being half rotten. It happens.
Prop all the healthy leaves and have a jade forest. Takes time but tiny plants on a flat pot are so cute
It was happened in my case with increasing humidity.., 2 months back the humidity was 30% so I watered them once in 10 days and
After 12 days when the humidity increased to 30 to 45% I got 3 casualty by the same way of loosing leaves and then die 😭
