I've never had thrips so I cant rule that out.
But turn that leaf over and get a magnifying glass and look for little bugs. (spider mites)
I can see them with naked eye but I know what im looking for unfortunately.
Also look for webbing, it may or may not be present yet if its common spider mites.
Honestly though, i don't think it is spider mites. The damage looks similar. But still check to rule it out

sure looks like mite damage, but if its thrips, its still the same treatment. several products available, i like spinosad. spray it 4 times, three days apart, and it'll kill them, and any hatching eggs.

it's a good idea to rotate pesticides. use spinosad on one outbreak, then use pyrethin on the next outbreak, then something else on the third. that way, they can't build up an immunity to any of them.

spray the whole plant, paying attention to the bottoms of all the leaves. there's no way to stop it just spraying part of the plant, they'll just move to the other part of the plant

where are you? they sell it in most of the world. captain jack's dead bug brew is by bonide, that's the one i've been using. i know theres at least a couple more companies out there making a spinosad product, monterey makes one, there's one called conserve, probably several more.
