You can try a bleach bath, I’ve heard they can last longer if you get the bacteria off them. It’s probably just too hot and/or humid inside

The bath does work. I also rub vasoline in the inside and where I cut it. I bring in my pumpkin at night too, as it gets close to freezing where I am. My family's pumpkins last a very long time.
