iOS 16.4 ruined Downtime?

Is anyone else using downtime experiencing issues after 16.4? Particularly when it comes to apps not recognizing “ignore limit” options. I can choose “ignore limit for today” and it won’t keep the selection. What’s worse is that the apps are simply not working at all even when you choose to ignore limit.

Also, all of my “always allow” apps are gone. This was a huge problem in a previous release that was all finally working again, but this update brought the bugs back plus more.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello James_Scott,

Are you using the Share Across Devices option in Screen Time (Settings > Screen Time > Share Across Devices)? If that's enabled and you're using other devices as well, see if the other devices also all have the same option enabled. That can help rule out conflicts there.

It may also be beneficial to try toggling Screen Time off fully, restart the device as normal, and then proceed to re-enable it to give it a quick refresh.

Cheers.
