I thought my fiddle leaf fig was fine until the leaves started dropping

It was in my living room in Austin, and I kept it about 5 feet from a south-facing window. For months it looked okay, then suddenly it lost 8 leaves in a single week. I realized the AC vent was blowing right on it, drying it out way too fast. I moved it to a corner with bright, indirect light and started misting it every other day. Now it's pushing out 3 new leaves. Has anyone else had a plant react badly to air conditioning?

Misting every other day might actually cause fungus issues, idk. Maybe try a pebble tray for humidity instead. Glad it's putting out new leaves though.
