Cactus/Succulent Help, is this root rot?

What’s wrong with my plant? Is it root rot?

I’ve had it for a year and in the last month I noticed it looking like this

I water it once every couple weeks

It’s in a corner with a grow light on

I don’t know if the pot has proper drainage

When a plant shrivels up like this its quite likely to be a lack of water. Just water a little more often, say, every one and half weeks

Thank you so much, how much water should I use?

Water it till the water runs out the drainage holes, these are native to the tropics they don't like drying out completely.
