Ridiculous screen time & App Limit issues

Recently I’ve set app limits and everything was running smoothly, but it seems with the recent iOS update my screen time has gone from 5hrs to upwards of 24hrs. My app limits haven’t been resetting overnight or if they do they’ll just lock me out after being in an app for maybe half an hour without the 5 minute warning. I’ve tried deleting and recreating the app limits with no success and still have a WAY too high screen time, what am I doing wrong??

Greetings DarthNeb,


Thanks for connecting with Apple Support Communities. We understand that Screen Time is not reporting your info correctly and we'd like to provide you with a few steps that may help resolve this issue: 


  1. Restart Your iPhone
  2. Be sure the apps are not running in the background: Quit and reopen an app on iPhone
To quit the app, open the App Switcher, swipe right to find the app, then swipe up on the app.
To reopen the app, go to the Home Screen (or App Library), then tap the app.


Let us know if this helps.

Stay safe and well.
