Screen Time showing Hundreds of Hours per Day on iPhone 15

iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 18.1 has been showing that I have 500 hours plus screen time usage. I have tried turning background refresh off and back on to no avail. I leave my phone on all the time. Anyone else having this issue?

Why does Screen Time show 28+ hours of daily usage on iPhone? not sure how my phone can live 28+hrs a day when we have 24hrs/day. Here I’m attaching a screenshot of my daily usage recorded by screen time app in iPhone which is 28hrs just for today. Not sure what’s happening 🫠 [Re-Titled by Moderator]

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.

Discrepancy between reported and actual Screen Time on iPhone over the past few months, ive been noticing that my time spent on apps has been all wonky (saying 30 mins, an hour, 4 hours, etc) but the my actual screen time only says 2 hours (see the photo below). does anyone know how to fix this? or at least why this is happening? its extremely annoying and it burns though my limits on stuff when im not on my apps that much. i’ve tried restarting my phone, and ive turned off screen time and turned it back on. nothing changes it [Edited by Moderator] Original Title: screen time

Same problem here. Max screen time I have from this week is 2200h. My daily average from this week is 700h+.

Share my screen time with multiple devices: so I have iPad, iPhone and Macbook. All false screen time with too much time comes from the MacBook. Even on days where I don`t even use it I got hundreds of hours screen time for the last opened apps listed.
