Why are Screen Time requests being automatically approved?

Hi dRuffolo,

We appreciate you reaching out to us.

We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.

For accuracy, are you referring to the "Ask For More Time" requests?

If yes, do you have Messages in iCloud enabled?

Also, do you have multiple devices that are signed in to the same Apple ID?

In the meantime, let’s check for a software update and make sure that you are running the latest version of iOS 17.

While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest software version for your device can help isolate potential software issues. 

Kindly secure a backup and update.

Hello dRuffolo,

Since you continue to experience that behavior, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this further.

Thanks for reaching back out dRuffolo,

What happens to show that it's automatically approved? Did you check the settings from your device, to make sure you still have it set up as you want? It might be a good idea to change your Screen Time passcode.

Take care.
