Screen Time- Approve All Day
When approving a screen time request for additional time, how long does “Approve All Day” last? Does it approve it until the scheduled “downtime” or until midnight?

The question is not confusing. “Approve all day” is not explicitly specified in Apple’s support pages.
PatriotHR, I have noticed that Screen Time extensions are not blocked by downtime. They are extensions and take priority over downtime until the app limit reset of midnight. If I approve “all day”, the app access is extended until 11:59:59 pm.
It is annoying to constantly approve in increments of 1 hour but that is the only alternative besides assigning app specific limits or adjusting downtime. A nice feature would be the addition of “approve until downtime”.

App limits refresh every day at midnight.
I don’t understand your question. I’m guessing it’s simply rephrasing your original post.
Since app limits refresh each day at midnight, that seems to me to answer your question. Midnight is a boundary.
Thank you! What if my daughter’s downtime starts at 10:30? If I “Approve All Day”, is all day 10:30 or midnight?
