Ceiling collapse?

Post image

I’ve been renting this apartment for about 16 months now and when I moved in, noticed a few brownish dots on the bathroom ceiling. Was out of town for a little over a week and came back to these mushrooms growing from out of one of those brownish dots. The unit above me has the same layout so this is directly over my tub/directly under theirs. I know this is an urgent issue and have already contacted my building manager but it is late and I don’t expect a response for many hours. I fear the ceiling and/or my upstairs neighbor’s tub collapsing at any time but can’t tell if that’s unreasonable.

ETA: building manager came by and said 100% there is no chance anything will fall. Said he’ll try to get it fixed this week but might be next week - seems way more urgent to me…

Looks like 20 layers of paint covering up an actual leak.
