Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Water Stress
Both too much and too little water can prevent green pepper plants from growing properly. Overly wet soil causes the plants to grow poorly, and their leaves may fall off or appear stunted. The roots suffocate and drown. Eventually, the roots succumb to rot, and the plants die. Plant peppers in well-drained soil or raised beds to avoid water issues.

My suggestion is this:
1.Determine which plant is in the worst condition.
2.Cut a 12" diameter section of soil with roots.
3. Remove this root ball/soil in 1 piece.
Pythium crown and root rot of pepper
"The soil-borne oomycete pathogen Pythium (several species) can attack roots and crown tissue. Young plants are more susceptible due to tender stem tissue. Wet soils provide favorable conditions for the pathogen to develop."
Check your root ball, compare above -problematic- to below - pristine -

They return to normal at night? I have seen some of my plants doing the same, but only at high temperatures and in full sun (I'm in tropical MX).
Disease or not. No plant will thrive when it's not in proper conditions.
If the soil is too wet it won't matter if the plant was healthy or not.

If your diagnosis is a disease and not a growing condition.........

Let us know what it is and you treated it!!!!
At the moment, the spread of the disease has slowed down (Pythium or Phytophthora).
I used Metalaxyl 35% 1g/1L for watering.
The BLS situation is much more complicated. I am removing infected foliage from plants (BLS tracks still appear). For 4 days in a row I sprayed with hydrogen peroxide 6% 100ml / 5L while waiting for Ridomil Gold (Mefenoxam 4% + Manconzeb 64%). 2 days ago I applied Ridomil Gold 2g / 1L.
As an experiment, I dug up one plant, washed the roots with 5ml / 1L neem oil and transplanted it into a pot. At least this plant does not die, the symptoms of wilting continue to be. The plant stands in the shade.
Again today I used Metalaxyl 35% 1g / 1L

Maybe you would be better suited by container growing. If your water level is very high, like in that picture with the holes completely filled (with groundwater I presume), then that land is unreliable at best and completely unusable for peppers at worst.
Container growing can be cheap with fabric grow bags (can even make them yourself) and you could then manage it and let them dry out between waterings. What do you think?
