Screen Time

I set up screen time to limit time on my phone. When I open it up it says that I’ve only been on my phone for 33 minutes but when I go into the details for how long I’ve been using certain apps, it says I’ve been on social media for 47 minutes. Is this a bug or is something else causing this? I want to get an accurate number for my screen time usage to track my habits.
