My guess would be possible neut burn or maybe over watering?
Looks like possibly just some mold/mildew if it’s only a few leaves or neut deficiency/not enough light. I just brought my fave peppers in and they are shedding like this getting rid of as much excess leaves as it can to compensate for the lack of sunlight.
Peppers are annoying in that if they are root bound or aren’t getting enough of something they will lunge towards dormancy or go full panic mode and cut off nutrients
If it starts yellowing/ dying off at the tips of the leaves going inward then you got neut burn
It could be under watered or overwatered. Based on no nutrient added, it could be lack of nutrients. It could also be light deficiency. It could be temperature. It could be root lock. Peppers are so sensitive, and have strange responses to environments it doesn’t like. Every day reach your fingers 2” deep into the soil, water when it’s starting to feel dry. What kind of soil did you use?
