Screen Time Still on, even when its during the "downtime"

My sons phone is limiting all his apps. His downtime is set from 11:59pm to 6a. Its 9:45a and all his apps are still restricted. They all state "You've reached your limit on ____". There is an option to ignore the limit on his device.


I deactivated screen time and started over trying to fix this issue with no luck, I also noticed there is no "time limit" that we have selected.


Any ideas?

You need to enable Screen Time on your Child's iPhone but you need to set Screen Time restriction on your iPhone and add him on your iPhone through Family Sharing


Use Screen Time with your family

With Family Sharing, you can share music, movies, apps, and more with family — and it now works with Screen Time. You can view reports and adjust settings for children in your family any time, right from your device.


If you're already in a family group, go to Settings > Screen Time, and tap your child's name. If you need to create an Apple ID for your child, go to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing > Screen Time.


Or if you're new to Family Sharing, tap Set up Screen Time for Family and follow the instructions to add a child and set up your family. You can add family members any time from Family Sharing settings.


To use Screen Time with Family Sharing, you need to be the family organizer or parent/guardian in your family group, on iOS 12. Your child must be under age 18, in your family group with their own Apple ID, and on iOS 12.
