Hi, I've just noticed yesterday (April 21, 2021) that my screen time usage went so high compared to April 20. I've been only using my mac for about 3-4 hours a day and was shocked to see a 22-hour usage. I usually put my mac to sleep as well. What are those grey bars and why are they adding up to my screen time data? Many thanks!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
Hello sanleo_,
It sounds like you have some questions about Screen Time. We will be happy to assist you.
When you see the grey indicators, it generally means those items do not fall into other predefined categories. These can be things like "Other", "Creativity", "Social Networking", and so forth. Do you have backups running, or do you have applications running when you're not using the Mac? Also, do you have any other devices sharing Screen Time? If so, you may be seeing reporting from those as well.
We hope this helps!
Cheers!
