How big is your pot abd how much do you give water, and when?

Those little plants use very little water. You can typically go a long time between watering at that point, so if you're sure it's not that, I couldn't tell you. It may be fine.

It doesn't look like spider mite damage to me, it looks more like a slug or bird....

yes, the typical many tiny bright dots leaf damage "symptome" is missing.

It actually just looks like leaf damage, from being moved around. The edges don't look like something, like a caterpillar, has been munching on it. This happens all the time. If you start seeing this happen across several leaves, then you may have a critter crisis

It's very common and nothing to do with pests. I never figured out why it happens but I'm sure someone on here will know.my best guess was some sort of necrosis from heat.nothing to worry about anyway unless you've found caterpillars or such under the leaves

Yeah I see it periodically and thought it was sumat munching but over the years never found anything lol just something that happens now and again, maybe clip the damaged bit with a pair of scissors and tidy it up. That's what I do mate
