If you have Contacts Only turned On then please add Apple ID of the sending device to your list of contacts on the receiving device. See the pic at the bottom of this post for better clarity
Before you begin
You can put your AirDrop receiving setting to Contacts Only or Receiving Off at any time to control who can see your device and send you content in AirDrop.

I have the same problem. Both my Mac and my phone are using the same apple id. I do not have screen time on for myself. So I should be able to send from my mac to my phone and vice versa without having to change this setting each and every time. Used to be the case, but now it's an annoyance.
