Here are some pictures of an African Violet I have had for about 10 years. I think I may have a problem. Leaves at the bottom have been dying, which did not seem unusual but now I notice discoloration of other leaves and flowers. More pictures - https://nd.nl.tab.digital/s/EAYcAiAjA25SwfK

Any ideas?

I'd check for root rot. I don't know much about them, but I'm fairly sure they are sensitive to overwatering. Perhaps repot in terra cotta, which tends to air out a bit quicker. I keep all my succulents in those pots so they don't have wet feet for too long.
