    Let the soil surface dry between waterings. It may be overwatered, so make sure the soil is well draining and that the container is draining.

    Although it's not an edible bean, snail vine is in the bean family and can be affected by bean diseases. I am not sure what yours has, but here are some possibilities:

    The only two diseases I can find that will attack all three of the plants you mention are anthracnose and alternaria disease. Both are fungi that cause leaf spots and discoloration on a wide variety of plants. I am not sure which one your plants have, but a local extension office could probably help you. See these articles for help:

    This sounds like a case of nitrogen deficiency. Use a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen, along with some dolomitic lime, as this controls pH, and sometimes the problem is not a deficiency but a pH issue. It cannot hurt your plant, and will only help anyways. I use dolomitic lime in all of my plants. These things should bring your plant back, as long as it is currently still alive.

    It appears that in your area, it can be common for them to die back when it gets a little cooler. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/snail-vine/growing-snail-vine.htm

    This could be two, likely, but separate issues. The first is that it could be over-watered, and thus contracted an infection. You can attempt to correct this by adding a little dolomitic lime and wettable sulfur.
    Luckily, this will also correct the second likely scenario- A magnesium deficiency. The dolomitic lime will act as a pH buffer, while providing calcium and magnesium for the plant.

    This article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/snail-vine/growing-snail-vine.htm
