What’s wrong with my honeysuckle

last summer it was in a terrible state, but for now it seems ok, but why are the leaves so yellow? It’s in a tall metal pot.

What sort of compost is it in, and when was it last repotted with fresh compost? Has it been fed this year?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
do don’t move it into too much sun ☀️
I suspect repotting in a combination of John Innes No 3 loambased compost and some MPC at a ratio of 3:1 might improve the leaves as they look hungry to me.

The shadier a position for the pot , the better. Metal isn't the best for a pot either. Have you a wooden or clay one instead?
Sorry - I see Dove's said the same! Although your pot's tall, there isn't a huge volume there to support a big climber like honeysuckle. A big square planter would be better if you can manage it.
