One can play music from locked screen and this time does not "count" as time spent with Music App. Even when Music App is locked due to limit reached and you cannot open it, it is still possible to start/continue playback using controls available under locked screen. Seems to be a hole in Screen Time funtionality. Does anyone know how to limit playing music, regardless which way is used to start the playback?
Hi spam4,
To troubleshoot, toggle Ask to Buy off and back on if this is happening with a child's account with the feature enabled. This may help to clear up the issue. To do so, follow these steps: Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
"On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Additionally, test after changing the Screen Time passcode for the affected account, and sure the passcode can't easily be guessed to help troubleshoot. To do so, tap Settings > Screen Time > (name) > Change Screen Time Passcode.
If you're using multiple devices, check and make sure "Share Across Devices" is enabled for each of your devices under Settings > Screen Time > Share Across Devices, as perhaps there's a syncing issue causing the behavior.
If the issue persists, reach out to Apple Support directly to help investigate and resolve the behavior. You can use the following link to reach out: Contact - Official Apple Support
Take care.
