screen time not tracking picture in picture mode

I have screen time enabled for all apps for my kid's iPhone 12 mini. If they watch a video in picture in picture and are using an app at the same time, the app will time out properly with the screen time settings, but the video will play all day long when in the picture in picture mode. How do I get this to stop without turning off picture in picture mode? This is a huge problem that I would have though Apple would have addressed or made it easier to find a way to stop it. I have tried everything I can think of besides just turning off picture in picture.
