App limits showing usage all night even when phone has not been used

My kids iPhone usage shows it's been on all night even when I know it hasn't. It is using all their screen time & Im having to add ridiculous amounts of screen time to address. Or she has to request time constantly.

Any one else seeing the same thing?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 18

Why is my daughter's iPad Screen Time showing inaccurate app usage overnight? We use screen time to limit my daughters ipad usage, it automatically comes on at 6:15 am. But its now showing her 3 hours of app usage is already up when her iPad just unlocked. I check her screen time and it shows all of her apps have been used all night (when her iPad is shut down for the night) and its not even that the app was left open and running in the background. On my iPad I can see the accurate usage of when she woke up and that she's only used it for a short amount of time. Why is her iPad saying every single app is being used all night? Her iPad is locked down from 8:45-6:15, so no apps can be used to begin with. I've double checked and background app refresh is turned off, so it's also not that.

App & Website Activity keeps getting turned off of minor child’s phone I continue seeing tracking turned off in Screentime settings for my child’s phone - weird thing is limits still seem to be applying, downtime and app limitations. Inconsistent thought I had it fixed after updating phones, now appears to be happening again

Issue with iPhone Downtime Restrictions I’ve discovered that my child has found a way to bypass the iPhone’s downtime restrictions. When he gets the prompt asking if he wants "one more minute," he powers off the phone. Upon restarting, the app become accessible for the rest of the day, and the communication limits are lifted as well. It seems the phone treats the apps as if they’ve been approved for full-day access, and I’m unable to reapply the intended limits. Anyone else experience this? The downtime feature is essentially useless
