I have set up time limits for my apps on my kid's iPad. She often reaches her limits by the end of the day. However, on a new day the apps are (still?) locked. They say the app limits are reached. The timings don't seem to 'reset'. How can I resolve this?
iPad, iPadOS 16
Wondering if this Apple support article was used to set the limits, and if it may help.
Eg: You may need to check that any overnight "down time" or "app limits" set will end when the new day is to start

Thank you kindly for your reply, and added info., iIFrodo.
Perhaps another setting could be over-riding the screen time settings ? Eg:

Eg: Says: After you turn on content and privacy restrictions, do the following.
Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions >
Content Restrictions.

Thank you for sharing this article. I have used this to set up the app limits. However, it's the 'App Limits refresh every day at midnight', that is mentioned in the article doesn't happen correctly. In de morning the app limit counters haven't been reset, apps are greyed out, and we get the prompt that app limits have been reached. The App Usage dashboard does however displays the correct consumed app times since midnight.
Thank you for the reply. This however doesn't give any direction in how to identify or solve the given issue. I will try to troubleshoot further myself, and will follow up with Apple Support if needed. Thank you for the additional information.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply, and for your patience. Sorry I don't have an iPhone or iPad handy to investigate all the ins and outs ... mainly, it could be any downtime settings ... eg: they may have to end at midnight too.
Cheers :-)
