I watered them less, even let them get droopy, and they still look worse. Update since my last post. THAT issue was a nitrogen deficiency, cool sorted that, as you can see. Green now, but bumps lol.

When peppers cannot blow off water via their leaves, it builds up and causes cell ruptures which is what you see. Generally it forms underneath the leaves, but seeing on top is extreme.
You need to let the soil dry out between waterings. If the plants are in the direct sun, they will likely need less until new leaves grow and the plant begins to thrive. The affected leaves won’t recover, but the new ones will be fine.
I ran into this when I setup my tent inside my garage in the south. I didn’t realize the plants weren’t able to blow off water because my garage humidity was sky-high. Got a dehumidifier, problem solved.
It seems you’re plants are in tents, I think? What is the surrounding humidity like?
