I only water my hoya when its completly and totally bone dry. And I have it in a small clay pot in a bright window. It likes to be a bit snug around the roots so don’t size up the pots to fast. About the watering, it’s more like a succulent type plant so don’t just go on a schedual, you should feel the soil being really dry troughout before deciding on watering it. Some people even wait until the hoya leaves start to get a little soft and bendy before watering.
Also, your picture looks more like mechanical damage rather than root rot or other wilthering.

Some of those leaves look a bit thin & some are curling. That leaf looks damaged. What does the soil look like? When you water, does it run out right away? It may not be taking in water. I would take it out, check the roots to see if they are rotting. I put mine in mostly Orchard Bark, with potting soil & perlite mixed in.
