Oct 30, 2014 8:43 AM in response to will.locontoby daniellekathryn,I am having the same issue with time limits not working when parental controls are set. I get logged off immediately when trying to use the managed account. This is very frustrating because it defeats the purpose of having parental controls.
It seems to work if you turn off the bedtime hours settings -- and leave the overall time limits set.
There is definitely bug. Please fix this Apple!

Feb 2, 2016 5:24 PM in response to Thomas Delidukaby JonVon,Your milage may vary, but I had a similar problem that I was able to fix by looking through the console log.
First I brought up the console application.
Then I entered "parentalcontrolsd" in the filter.
Then I noticed that parentalcontrolsd was having problems creating a file:
2/2/16 6:54:14.784 PM parentalcontrolsd[2746]: -[ActivityTracker(Private) _createSupportFolders] [194:matthewzeh] -- Couldn't create /Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/Users/matthewzeh
It turns out that my box didn't have a /Library/Application Support/Apple/ParentalControls/Users directory. Once I created one time limits worked again.
