It got this bad in less than a week. Its hanging in an east facing window. Watered about once a week. We think that the dirt ran out of nutrients (its been in the same dirt for two years). Working on repotting, and fertilizing when watering for now.
Any advice would be helpful. Were willing to chop and prop is thats what will be best.
(P.S. this is my moms plant)

Have you checked for pests?
Are you watering it on a schedule and not checking if it’s dry? I’ve always been told that yellow means overwatering (or overloving) your plant and/or root rot. I’ve had several yellowing in my recent past. So now i stick my finger in the soil before I water. If it’s cool/damp to the touch, let it go a few more days & check again. If it’s not in a place where it’ll dry out, cooler temperatures, it can take several more days than just a week. Also happens when it gets too much humidifier attention.
Crispy edges means too much sun/ underwatering.. there’s a whole science behind it. Just goggle “pothos care troubleshoot:.
I mean feel free to chop and prop, but I would wait until it’s healthy again.
Typically yellowing is a sign of overwatering.
I’d prune the yellowed leaves and vines and cut back on watering. If you just repotted, you definitely don’t want to be watering at the same rate as with the old dirt. And maybe no added nutrients yet with fresh soil.
I never water more than once every other week (usually more like every 3-5), but you may live in a drier climate. My plants also face east.
I’ve left plants in the same soil for years without adding nutrients; that wouldn’t turn a hardy plant like pothos yellow.
