Downtime in my MacBook Air

Hi, I'm trying to configure Downtime form 01 to 07 AM for everyday, in the other screen time limits I don't have any other type of restriction for any other hour, but when I turn the downtime on with the already specified hours in the schedule it restricts me from all the apps like if right now I'm between 01-07AM when it actually is 14AM and my computer is saying so. I have already tried to change the range to other hours but it always restricts me like I said, I also changed to custom to configure the schedule for every day but happens the same. Any solutions, mistakes that I'm making? Thanks. (photos of the downtime configuration page with the current date on the menu bar & an example of the mail app an the rest of the unavailable apps down at the Dock)

MacBook Air, macOS 13.2

Just schedule, and do NOT turn it on. It should work in the set period.


If you are unsure, temporarily set downtime to start, say, in 5 minutes and last for another 5 minutes, and see if it "obeys".
