Screen time bug after updating to iOS 18.

As soon as I updated to iOS 18, my screen time notifications and limits started going crazy. When I checked in to the settings, it showed that my screen time was 13 hours (this would not have been possible as I was not on my phone for more than 1 hour that day). I scrolled back a few days and my screen time had also skyrocketed - anywhere from 10 hours a day to 21 hours a day. My screen time is usually no more than 3 1/2 hours a day, so this is weird.

This morning, I checked my screen time and it said I had 7 hours of screen time, even though my phone was powered off through the whole night.

(EDIT: I just want to add the things I’ve already tried to do)

Turn off and on the screen time settings
Power phone off and on
Force reset phone

How do I fix this?

same story on my 15 PM. i power off every night since it’s just a habit of mine, every day i wake up and allegedly i spend 12hrs overnight on nothing. 😂 hopefully they’ll sort it out with the next ios update.
