Hi LexiLight,


Let's check to make sure Screen Time limits are set up correctly. See the steps below:


"Set downtime and app limits on a family member’s device

  1. On your family member’s device, go to Settings  > Screen Time.
  2. Tap Turn On Screen Time, tap Continue, then tap This is My Child’s iPhone.
  3. To schedule downtime for your family member (time away from the screen), enter the start and end times, then tap Set Downtime.
  4. To set limits for categories of apps you want to manage for your family member (for example, Games or Social Networking), select the categories.
  5. To see all the categories, tap Show All Categories.
  6. Tap Set, enter an amount of time, then tap Set App Limit.
  7. Tap Continue, then enter a Screen Time passcode for managing your family member’s Screen Time settings.

If everything looks okay, contact support next for additional options. Contact Apple for support and service

Cheers.
