Usually, when the succulent has rooted already, I give it a good thorough watering till water gushes out below and then allow it to dry out. Plus this plant loves the sun, so it maybe doing two types of stress condition, thirsty and needs light. Indoors during the cold season is rather a dicey time for succulents, typically they tend to need to be drier with more warmth. But since your plant is showing too thirsty, I would try to give it a bit more water, but go hands off, till you see your media go dry. But do provide a bit more light for it.

Oh yes, your outdoor temps are cold now. If you have a south facing window, I would position it there. But not too near the window, since the glass will be cold.

If you have a bamboo skewer or even a wooden toothpick, dip it in the soil, and if it comes out damp, then the soil is still wet, so you can delay your next watering. This plant hates being wet and cold.
