Hello jsy4,

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. 


App usage will be reported here when an app is open or working in the background. If this usage seems like more than you would expect, be sure to fully quit any apps when you are not using them.

Cheers!

This response is really unhelpful when the original post was about an app recording being active for 26 hours in a day. If the app was working in the background a) that wouldn't be recorded in Screen Time because it would defeat the purpose of the feature and b) how did it make the day several hours longer? My employer would love to know how to add hours in the day. Is it possible to add them between the times of 9am and 5pm?


I have an entry in screen time right now for a 28 hour day - also Discord. The app is clearly doing something it shouldn't be doing.
