iOS 18 screen time bug

I just updated to iOS 18 on my iPhone 15, I went in to check my screen time for the week and noticed it absolutely SKYROCKETED. My daily average is maybe about 3 and a half hours a day if not less. Before I updated I seen my screen time daily average was 3 hours and 2 minutes I think. I updated and it skyrocketed to maybe 13 hours, 11 hours, even my iPad went to 24 hours one of the days.

iPhone 15, iOS 18

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 showing 54h 19m of screen time iPhone 13 Pro 128GB iOS 16.5 (20F66) Just went to look at my screen time for the past few weeks and I open the app to find that on the 8th of May, apparently I used my iPhone for 54 hours and 19 minutes, which I didn't. The breakdown shows that I supposedly used TikTok for 20h and 18m and YouTube for 18h and 51m. Looking further forward in the timeline, the problemcontinues to happen. 20th of May, it shows 50h 38m of screen time, and Yesterday, (29th May) it reports 25h 41m of screen time. Today (30th May) it doesn't seem to have happened yet. Just wondering why this is happening and maybe how to stop it. See the attached screenshots for additional information. P.S. I don't use Screen Time for anything important, it's just a little thing for a bit of insight on how I use my devices. If there is no quick fix, that's okay. I can wait for a new software update.

Screen Time is tracking usage even while my iPhone 12 is turned off Since some time now, my screen time shows grey bars for screen usage overnight, even though my phone‘s turned off overnight. I think that’s been happening since iOS 18, before that it was fine. I wanted to ask if anyone found a solution to this. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
