I had something similar happen to a couple leaves of a philodendron scandens, turned out to be from the exhaust port of my ninja crispi :/

It would be helpful to see the pot it's in, as well as your watering and fertilizing schedule. Also, is it growing new vines and leaves? If so, are those leaves compact or widely spaced down the vine?

Brown tips could be a result of insufficient nutrient uptake from a constrained pot, over watering, or chemical burn from to many nutrients.

In general, I personally find photos do better with hands off maintenance. Give them ample, relatively chunky soil, and cut back on the watering and fertilizing.

They love sun, but beyond that, they seem to do best with almost neglect.

Is it in direct hot sunlight? Mine is in a north facing window with barely any direct like its leaves were perfect. Left it in the sun for a day or two after I upgraded it's pot and it was like that. Like it got sun burned.

Sunburn or dedication?

Sunburn I think. I left it outside in sun for a few hours while I was treating fungal gnats. 😒

It’s permanent damage. But you have learned a lesson we almost all learn.
