Screen Time inaccurately tracks iPhone usage overnight

Hi! 👋 I’ve been having some trouble with inaccurate Screen Time tracking. I’m a teen, and I used to really struggle with having a high amount of screen time. Recently, I’ve been working so hard to lower it, and I finally got it to a number I’m really proud of! However, lately, I’ve noticed that my Screen Time says I’ve been on my phone from around 12 AM to 6 AM on some random website, even though I wasn’t using my phone during those hours. It’s really frustrating because I’ve been putting so much effort into improving my screen time, and now my statistics aren’t accurate. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 💗

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16
