Looks like you also might want to re pot it. The bottom of the aloe is getting crushed from the top and the sides of the pot

How often do you water? It could be overwatering or underwatering.

Hmmm. It’s possible that’s too frequent. Succulents are little more difficult to water on a schedule because they thrive in dry soil. They really only need to be watered once they start getting a little squishy.

I would recommend letting your aloe go a little longer without water and seeing if that helps :) A bigger pot may also help.
