What it looks like to me anyway.
Either way, if it is some sort of bacteria drivin problem, go cut those peppers off and throw them away yesterday!
Hope this helps, good luck

Yes it is going to or already is rotting from bacterial attack but the initial color and location suggests sun scald started it all. Either way, it does no good to leave the pepper on the plant, but since the plant is in a container you might seek a less sunny area for it or if it has to stay where it is, something over it to shade it from afternoon sun.
Well, there are certain pests that can cause that as well...
We have a stink bug with a mouth like a straw that injects an enzyme that causes the fruit to start rotting, in then pulls the wrotten fruit goo and juice back out... fruit that are bitten look like that... big white patches, and premature spoilage are both symptoms... looks kinda like a soldier bug, but is slightly longer and thinner. The nymphs look almost the same as well, except white spots on their red legs... might be confused for an ant.

Oh ok wow thats bad, ill cut them off today yesterday of tomorrow
Being that it starts at the top makes me thing sunburn started it and then infection set in.
Toss them in the compost pile!

I just cut away the nasty areas and cook the rest... anything that's not off-texture or color.
The bugs I spoke of inject at the top, and suck out from the bottom... Usually one side is more wrotten than the other... maybe its just a florida bug... but its evil
I took them of the plant, cut the bad part and ate them raw very Delicious
