My Iphone screentime shows excessive usage

I woke up today and saw that my screen time shows that i used photos(app) for 9 hours, wich means all night. A few hours later, it showed I used it for 16 hours. On top of that, it's not even possibile, since my parents set up app limits for all aps (2h per day) a long time ago. So I didn't use it that much. I already tried to reset screen time and updated my Iphone to the latest version, but none of it helped. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Ongoing Screen Time issues with IOS17 I’d hoped that the new iOS upgrade would remedy the issues with screen time but alas not. The App Limit continuously disappears and so my daughter can spend hours on her phone unless I keep checking if the limit is still there. Is anyone else finding this? Why is it so difficult to get this working properly? 😫

Screen time acting strange Hello, immediately after installing ios 18 my screen time suddenly changed to 16 hours average even though the accurate screen time was 1-2 hours a week. What’s strange is that the screen time bars that show you when the phone was being used showed the highest usage time during 12:00am to 6:00am which is when I am asleep and my phone is shut down. I don’t understand why it is showing that. I have tried closing background app refresh and even resetting my screen time but i don’t know why my phone is showing 10+ hours used at night. It also changed my previous screen times of the past weeks as well so my screen time of last week was 1 hr 50 min but after ios 18 is transformed to 16 hours. I am not sure what i can do to fix this.

Screen Time is high on apps I don’t use When I checked my screen time today it said I’ve been on settings app for 8 hours even though I’ve only been on my phone for 2 hours. My phone was not on the settings app overnight so I don’t know why it says this. The more I use my phone the higher the screen time on the settings app goes up. How do I fix this
