Extremely high screen time podcast app

Hi. I set a timer on 15 mins in the podcast app before i went to sleep. My episode stopped after 15 mins, but it recorded screentime the whole night.

Is there a way to falsify/remove this data?

Audible playing on lock screen not counted screen time I recently set up an iPad for my son, and implemented a one hour per day audible screen time limit. It appears, however, that when audible is playing an audiobook with the iPad locked (the widget showing up on the lock screen), that this time is not counted, meaning that he can listen to literally 24 hours a day, without counting towards his screen time. I know this is audio, and not strictly speaking screen time, however, it feels like this is not how the limits are meant to work. Any advice?

How to turn off countdown to next episode of Apple TV+ or trailers at the end of an episode? Every other streaming service I know has a setting to disable the automatic countdown that starts when an episode ends. Listening and watching the end credits is part of the experience for me, so having to stop that countdown each time is quite stressful and almost ruins it. Is there a way to do that?

Screen time When monitoring screen time I can see as soon as I connect to the car that minutes start counting. Is it possible to deactivate this or is it a consequence of using Apple Car Play?

I tested Podcast after setting a 3 min App Limit. I simply opened the Podcast app and locked the screen after few secs. Did not close the app.

Please refer to the pic below. The Screen Time report.
