Over or underwatering?

Hi, im having this issue with Cayenne yellows. The end of the leaves being like this only started today, there were no signs of it yesterday. However the droopy/weak/curled up leaves have been present for a week now. I have been watering them once a day with what i’d say is a reasonable amount of water, i definitely wouldntve considered it as too much. But i stopped watering them 2 days ago to see whether too much water is the issue, as i read everywhere that overwatering is the main mistake of new chilli growers. However the droopiness remained and now the end of the leaves look like this. For additional info, the top of the soil is dry, but if i dig 1-3cm deep its moist, not wet, not dry, but moist. I have also pruned off 3 leaves if that changes anything. They are kept in a greenhouse during the day where temperatures have been 46°C today and 40°C on average during the last week, but i bring them into my room overnight (sunny window) where its about 22°C.

Any advice please?
