Pieris flame red losing leaves

I have this plant in a large container for years. I live in Ireland Just now the leaves are going yellow and dropping off. Any ideas? Also should it be pruned, if so how and when. Thanks in advance for any comments

These are all factors. They prefer a shady spot, and don't tend to do well long term in contianes unless they have adequate care. Have you got a pic?
You can certainly prune, but it's best to find the cause of, and rectify, the leaf drop first

Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

More worryingly - it seems to be inside another planter - a trug. How does the water drain away?
