Screen Time still works after one turns 18?

I have read in many articles that Screen Time is not able to be enforced using Family Sharing once the user reaches the age of 18, according to the date of birth associated with their Apple ID. This contradicts my personal experience. I recently turned 18, and my parents are still somehow able to use the Screen Time on my iPhone, controlling it via Family Sharing. Is this normal? How can I fix it?

Apple Screen Time app limits not working I’ve used screen time for my kids to limit time on certain apps. It worked well for years, but now I will set the limits and then they will suddenly disappear after a day or even less. Other settings also get erased including downtime and content restrictions. I have changed the passcode and the kids swear they have not tried to change any settings. This issue started about two months ago. I have updated iOS on all the devices. I have turned screen time off and set up settings again. I have tried setting the limits from my device as well as the individual devices. My kids will spend too much time on their phones without limitations in place and creates repeated bouts of anger for my wife. Please help! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone Screen time keeps auto resetting I use screen time to set limits on the usage of games and social apps for the kids, but the feature routinely gets reset or disabled. Suspecting the kids hacked it, I have changed the password repeatedly. The new password they have never seen, they have never been near me, and I have not written it down. screen time keeps resetting. I am guessing some iCloud sync fail safe mode is clearing the settings [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen time keeps turning off We have been using screen time successfully for several years to manage our kids devices. Recently, I upgraded to the iPhone 14 pro and now all their screen time settings keep resetting and turn off almost daily. Downtime, content restrictions and time limits - all off. 4 kids - two iPhones and two iPads. Each has a different screen time passcode that were all reset. Software has been updated on each device. Still keeps happening. Please advise!

Here's a similar situation for App Tracking which may work in your case --> If you recently turned 18, try logging out of your account and back in again as suggested in this topic --> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253080534
