Roblox App Not Affected by Screen Time

Regardless of what I do, I cannot get Roblox to work with screen time limitations on my child’s account. He is using an iPad (7th Gen) with the latest update (15.2). Previously his account was on an iPad Mini (1st Gen, I think). I have tried limiting Roblox App individually, I have tried limiting all Games, and I have tried limiting all Apps. Besides the apparently untouchable Apple designated Apps, Roblox is the only other App that refuses to be limited. I have attempted these adjustment through the screen time settings on my own device and I have made them directly on his iPad. Neither method seems to have an impact. Any ideas or help are appreciated.

So very strange but make sure you turn on screen time using the device you want to control. When using my iPhone to turn it on Roblox is still available. When I do it from my Son's iPad it is blocked. It's almost as if the config stored in my iCloud is corrupted somehow, but when enabled locally on the iPad it works. Will see if it sticks......

It never worked, and Apple pretends not to see, I was told that not even Apple's software engineering knows what is going on.

I can’t download anything on my child’s device because she put in her Apple ID and I don’t know because she played on her phone too much and she said the screen time and I don’t know the code
