it's not a particularly light rim.
I would guess that the spokes are all under-tensioned and fatigued

Nothing short of a full rebuilding of the wheel by a competent wheel builder with new spokes will solve this problem.

for 200lbs and up, I would recommend a minimum of 32h with 36h rear wheel preferred.
