Unfortunately, Threatened drastically reduces his accuracy. In the screenshot above, you can see the situation in which the hero standing next to the target is trying to conduct a ranged attack using a bow.

Threatened: when a character attempts to attack with a ranged weapon or spell and is too close to the target, they receive a negative accuracy modifier.

This can be neutralized by using some spell that illuminates the darkness, such as Dancing Lights

The target is located in a dark room: heroes who do not have the ability to see in the dark receive a negative modifier for accuracy when attacking in a dark room.

The target is higher than your hero: try to make the attacking hero equal to or higher than the target.

Try to get closer to the target to get rid of the negative modifier

Target out of range: when a character attempts an attack and the target is out of range, the accuracy of the attack is greatly reduced.

This should be avoided at all costs and, if possible, do everything there is to get out of this disadvantage. If the accuracy indicator received a red circle fragment, it means that your character will perform a Disadvantageous attack.

The white number shows standard attack value, but sometimes the round accuracy indicator may receive a red or a green circle fragment, which means either a weakened attack or an attack with an advantage.

When you hover the cursor on the opponent, the game itself tells you what chance you have for a successful attack. Before you start any fight in Baldurs Gate 3, you should check your hero's chance of hitting the target.
