Impossible screen time numbers after updating to ios 18.3.1

Hi! I’ve honestly always found screen time to be disappointingly buggy but it has reached a new level since I updated my phone to IOS 18.3.1 the other day. It now keeps claiming that during the night when I’m sleeping and my phone is turned off charging that I am somehow using multiple apps at the same time and for hours straight. Today when I woke up for example I couldn’t access any of my social media as I was supposedly on one app for three hours nonstop during the night. This is especially annoying given that it’s routinely claiming that this usage is happening during my programmed downtime where I’m already locked out of the apps anyway. Has anyone found a way to fix this? I just tried turning off all of my background app refreshing but it was already turned off for all the apps this happened with.


I’ll attach a couple screenshots where you can see it’s claimed I racked up 6 hours of screentime in just 3 hours as I was supposedly simultaneously using 2 apps for 3 hours straight
